Surface performances have a great influence on road functionality and can affect user’s safety, vehicle operational costs, environmental sustainability. The assessment of the evolution of pavement surface performance plays a fundamental role in road pavement management and is useful in order to an adequate allocation of maintenance resources. In the light of the above, Authors introduced the first results carried out from a two-year monitoring of an experimental road section. Four different dense graded wearing courses were designed with aggregates of different petrographic nature: limestone, basalt and expanded clay. Several surface performance were monitored by different devices (Skid Tester, Sand Patch Test, Laser Profilometer).

Abstract
Surface performances have a great influence on road functionality and can affect user’s safety, vehicle operational costs, environmental sustainability. The assessment of the evolution of pavement surface performance plays a fundamental role in road pavement management and is useful in order to an adequate allocation of maintenance resources. In the light of the above, Authors introduced the first results carried out from a two-year monitoring of an experimental road section. Four different dense graded wearing courses were designed with aggregates of different petrographic nature: limestone, basalt and expanded clay. Several surface performance were monitored by different devices (Skid Tester, Sand Patch Test, Laser Profilometer).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
