EME2 pavement and mix design

摘要

Enrobes a Module Eleve (EME), which means high modulus asphalt, was developed in France over 30 years ago. It is primarily intended to reduce the thickness of full depth asphalt pavements whilst still providing sound pavement performance through a combination of high modulus, and superior fatigue, deformation and moisture resistance. EME2 is the highest class of EME in the French standards and is being introduced into Queensland through a collaborative effort involving Transport and Main Roads (TMR), ARRB Group, the Australian Asphalt Pavement Association (AAPA) and its members, and Brisbane City Council. In addition, the implementation into Queensland leverages off related projects by Austroads and other Australian road agencies.
