... 59 5.1 Introduction This chapter focuses on the aggregate-related pavement performance records and how quality may be linked to the behavior of individual pavement layers under traffic loading and environmental conditions. This includes effects of aggregate quality and source issues on strength, modulus, permanent deformation, and durability characteristics of bound and unbound layers in constructed pavement structures.

According to the cost-effectiveness and performance records collected, pavement performance could be increased by 1.4 to 1.9 times by using harder aggregates conforming to the Nordic abrasion specification (Frith et al.

... Aggregate Quality Affecting Pavement Performance 67 5.2.3 Unsurfaced Pavements The Massachusetts Unpaved Roads Best Management Practices Manual: A Guidebook on How to Improve Water Quality While Addressing Common Problems describes the main distresses in unpaved roads as surface deteriorations and surface deformations. Deterioration can be caused by losing fine materials to the air as dust or losing coarse aggregates from raveling.
