TECHNICAL REPORT
According the request from "Cowi S/A Denmark", team from "Centar za puteve Vojvodine" executed all
site and laboratory tests on checking asphalt courses from wearing and base courses of road
construction on roads on Miseluk.
On samples taken from the main road, following tests were carried out:
- Granulometric composition of material
- Percentage of bitumen
- Characteristic of extracted bitumen
- making "Marshall" test tubes
- testing of flow stability, bulk density and percentage of pores
On samples taken from access roads, following tests were carried out
- Granulometric composition of material
- Percentage of bitumen
- Characteristic of extracted bitumen
All characteristic types of damages are studied and proposal for sanation is given.
Characteristics for asphalt mixture for surface dressing are defined (according to Employer request)* with
technical conditions for work execution.
* With adequate added tests of road construction: excavation of test holes and drilling, geomechanical
analyses of materials from base courses, testing of construction bearing power (deflexion FWD) and by
measuring longitudinal and transverse level, more data would be produced, according to which, more
precise design of asphalt mixture could be made (micro asphalt, skeleton asphalt mixture SMA…).
By testing of asphalt layers it is found that road structure, on most sections, consists of four courses, as
follows:
- Wearing course – asphaltic concrete AB11s (AB 16s),
- Binder course – asphaltic concrete AB16,
- Base course – bituminised mineral material BNS22 (two layers 4-5 cm depth)

REFLECTED LINEAR TRANSVERSAL CRACKS 15 mm
All cracks that will be treated in this way will be marked by Engineer supervisor, according to visual
checking. Existing asphalt course is to be mechanically cut in width of 0.5 m in crack zone in depth of
wearing course, cca 6 cm. Waste materials is collected and transported to agreed destination. After deep
cleaning with compressed air, all cracks are to be filled with joint sealing compound. After joint sealing,
the area is to be sprayed with modified bitumen emulsion PMB 60. Emulsion must be in accordance with
JUS U.M3.024 (1997) and must be sprayed in quantity of min. 300g pure bitumen /m2. On in this way
prepared surface, asphaltic concrete AB 16s will be applied.
Engineer supervisor, according to visual checking is marking cracks to be sanated in this way. After
detailed cleaning with compressed air, all cracks must be filled with emulsion of polymer modified bitumen
PMB 60. Emulsion is to be according to JUS U.M3.024 (1997).
According to visual checking, Engineer supervisor marks all pot holes to be treated in this way.
After marking, vertical rectangular cutting of asphalt around hole is to be done, area cca 30% bigger than
the hole, to the depth of damaged road structure, min. 6 cm. After detailed cleaning with compressed air,
emulsion from polymer modified bitumen is to be sprayed in quantity not less than 300 g/m2. Emulsion is
to be in accordance with JUS U.M3.024 (1997). After this, designed asphalt course will be laid AB 16s
d≥6.0 cm.

TECHNICAL CONDITIONS FOR ASPHALT WORKS
SURFACE DRESSING
1. Surface preparation
Prior to beginning of works, surface is to be prepared by means of using rotation brush and compressed
air, to insure good connection with binder.
All damages must be repaired:
- Pot holes 10-20 cm
- Transverse reflected cracks > 1,5 cm
- Netlike cracks < 1,5 cm
2. Binder spraying
Because of fast cooling of binder, works must be done on dry and good weather conditions, with
temperature in shadow not less than 10oC.

3. Aggregate spreading
After equalized binder spraying, on acceptable temperature concerning viscosity, aggregate must be
spread immediately. All laid binder must be covered within one minute, after this, connection between
binder and aggregate is not secured.
Control of aggregate spreading is done by marking length of the section to be covered.

4. Rolling of aggregate
Rolling must be done with self propelled rollers with pneumatic tires and for every spreading machine, two
rollers are needed. Rolling must be done immediately after spreading and is to be continued as long as all
aggregate grains are not in the best position in binder layer. Rolling starts from outer curb in longitudinal
direction and continue towards road centre line. Every "lane" is to be connected with previous for at least
half of width of front roller "wheel". For good compaction, three to five roller passes are needed.
Rollers should be with nine to eleven wheels, with tire pressure during rolling between 6 and 8 bars,
maximum allowed speed is 8 km/h.
After rolling, a certain excess of aggregate could be find and it should be removed by rotating brush or by
compressed air. Free grains, if not remover, could be danger for normal traffic.
6. Traffic management
Page 28
Concerning quality of works, traffic management is of great influence, especially when there is no
possibility for traffic stopping. All traffic must be redirected on parts where works are not executed. After
work finishing, allowed speed must be limited on 25 km/h as long as asphalt layer is not fully cooled. All
warning signs must be placed during work execution.
Trucks with material are turned in opposite direction from direction of spreading. They must turn on the
place away from the works.

Bitumen
Polymer modified bitumen is to be used, PmB 60 .Bitumen is to be according to DIN Technical Standards
for PmB -TL-PmB -91.
Production of asphalt mixture will not start as long as Contractor does not propose preliminary asphalt
mixture for approval to the Engineer. Attests on materials and preliminary mixture must not be older than
6 months. If Contractor changes anything in asphalt mixture he is obliged to inform Engineer and to ask
for the approval.
Granulometric curve of designed mixture must be in accordance with JUS U.E4.014/90 for asphaltic
concrete AB 16s from the following table:
sieve openings 0.09 0.25 0.71 2.00 4.00 8.00 11.2 16.0 22.4
pass (%) 3-10 8-17 15-28 27-43 40-56 60-75 74-86 97-100 100
Testing of materials and quality of preliminary asphalt mixture is to be executed according to JUS
U.E4.014/90 and it must fulfil all conditions for AB 16s.
Production will be in asphalt plant. Asphalt plant will be approved if it is proved as stabile quality producer.
Bitumen temperature in asphalt plant must be between 150 oC and 165 oC. Aggregate temperature must
not higher than 150 oC over bitumen temperature, and temperature of prepared asphalt mixture must not
be higher than 160 10 oC, and max. 175 oC.
Straight after production, asphalt mixture must be transported to the place for laying.
Page 30
Placement of asphalt mixture must be executed in good weather conditions with outside temperatures not
less than +10oC. In extreme weather conditions with wind and rain or in much higher temperatures,
Engineer supervisor could stop the works. Minimal temperature of asphalt mixture on the placement must
be between 140oC and 175oC.
Proper regime of rolling must be insured immediately after placement of asphalt mixture, to insure proper
asphalt compaction.
All other details for this item will be in accordance with JUS U.E4.014/90 and other relevant JUS
standards.
Asphalt could be placed only on temperatures higher than 10oC, with no wind or min 15oC on windy
weather. Asphalt will be not placed during rain or misty weather. Surface for placement must not be lower
than +10oC.
QUALITY CONTROL
Continuing testing
Continuing testing will be executed by the Contractor, so to have most accurate data on quality for each
moment and stage of works, for all materials and asphalt mixture, and to insure proper action in time.
According to results of continuing testing, Contractor will act in a way to insure continuous, by Technical
conditions defined, quality of executed works.
Results of continuing testing will be in writing, accessible to The Engineer in any moment.
All testing in frame of continuing testing are to be executed according to JUS U.E4.014/90.
Control testing
Control testing is done by the Contractor as a part of its Quality Assurance Management Programme,
aimed to have relevant picture on reached quality of executed asphalt course, according to conditions
from Technical Conditions.
Control testing is as follows:
- control testing of all materials used
- control testing of produced asphalt mixture
- control testing of executed asphalt course
