| Summary: | By a process of field studies of roads in the cryolithic zone the main types of defects and destructions of asphalt concrete pavements related to mechanical load from vehicle wheels were identified. The dominant types of deformations that form in warm and cold seasons of the year, as well as factors causing them, were determined. It was found that, regardless of the temperature in any arbitrary transverse road profile, the load on the traffic rut from the car wheel has an impulse character. The frequency of the impulse action depends on the speed of the vehicle, the number of axles and the distance between the axles. The amplitude of impulses depends on the weight of the vehicle and the evenness of the pavement.The unsuitability of regulatory documentation on load calculation for practical application was proved.
