This book forms the Proceedings of an International RILEM Symposium, the fourth in the series, on Testing of Bituminous Mixes in Budapest, Hungary, October 1990. The aim of the Symposium is to promote tests for the characterization, design and quality control of bituminous mixes which combine the best features of traditional and modern approaches. Among the topics covered are specimen preparation, tests with unique loading (Marshall test, uniaxial tension and creep tests etc), which are used for mix design or control of mechanical properties, and tests with repeated loading, which give information on fatigue, permanent deformation and moduli, especially for mix design.

Permanent deformation, fatigue, and shrinkage fracture are the three major distress mechanisms found in flexible pavements. To date, however, little quantitative information is available on the fundamental material characteristics related to load-associated permanent deformation. The response and characterization of paving materials have proven to be complex problems. This situation has retarded the development of a reliable deformation predictive technique and, consequently, a systematic pavement design process.
