... emulsion macadam (DBEM), have been studied in the laboratory using the repeated load axial test (RLA). A conventional emulsion and SBS and EVA polymer modi®ed emulsions have been used to investigate the in¯uence of polymer modi®cation on the resistance of mixtures to permanent deformation. The base binder...

... tests were carried out in the Transport Research Laborator y s Pavement Test Facility at Crowthorne, Berkshire. Test roads consisted of a single layer of granular material placed on a Gault clay subgrade. The roads had base thicknesses of 200, 350 and 560 mm. Wheel loads of 44 and 80 kN were used...
