Soft grades of asphalt cement are being used for controlling low temperature cracking in some parts of the northern regions of the U.S. and in Canada. A major concern is whether or not pavements constructed with softer grades of asphalt are more susceptible to rutting during the hot summer months. A field study was conducted by CRREL to gather information on the use of soft grades of asphalt (AC 2.5, AC 5 and AC 10) and their associated pavement performance.

This state-of-the-practice report on the design and development of roads and airfields is the eighth monograph in a series prepared by the Technical Council on Cold Regions Engineering of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Previous reports in the series covered such topics as frost action and its control embankment design, and arctic coastal processes. This book discusses such topics as: 1) Route-location/siting; 2) frost action; 3) design for permafrost conditions; 4) low temperature cracking; 5) maintenance; 6) use of geosynthetics; and 7) materials specifications and testing. This monograph contributes a substantial amount of new material to the Cold Regions Engineering series.
