AC DUOPAVE – TECHNOLOGY FOR REGIONAL ROADS

Аннотация

Road infrastructure is a critical component of the national transport system and plays a key role in ensuring sustainable economic growth and improving the quality of life. The current condition of regional road networks in many countries, including Russia, requires the implementation of advanced technologies that can enhance pavement durability while reducing construction and maintenance costs.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AC Duopave technology for regional roads with light and capital pavement structures. The methodology includes laboratory mix design, testing of physical and mechanical properties, and analysis of volumetric characteristics in accordance with national and international standards.

The AC Duopave technology represents a single-layer asphalt concrete system that performs both base and wearing course functions. The study includes the development of an asphalt mixture AC Duopave 16, optimization of binder content, and evaluation of performance characteristics using Marshall compaction methods.

The results demonstrate that the optimized mixtures provide adequate air void content, high stability, and resistance to rutting. The practical significance of the study lies in the potential application of AC Duopave technology to improve the durability and cost-efficiency of regional road pavements.
