​

Distresses in the pavement structure gradually develop, at a rate that is directly related to bearing capacity. Any<br> reduction in bearing capacity leads to faster pavement deterioration. To retain the same bearing capacity of whole<br> pavement structure during the year is an issue, the main reason being water accumulation in subgrade and base<br> courses, especially in spring as ice lenses melt. This paper focuses on the bearing capacity of pavement structures<br> with bound and unbound base courses in different seasons. Both pavements were affected by the same climatic<br> conditions. Bound base courses were constructed of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) blended with virgin<br> aggregate and treated with 3.1% of foamed bitumen and 2.3% of cement. Cold recycled asphalt mixture was<br> produced in a central plant. Bearing capacity of the whole pavement structure was evaluated by surface modulus,<br> which was calculated on the basis of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) data. A comparative analysis of cold<br> central plant recycled (CCPR) and unbound base course was performed considering pavement structure, side of<br> the road and season.
