Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction IV : Contributions to the 4th International Conference on Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction (AM3P 2025), 7-9 May 2025, Vienna, Austria
An overview of a conservative approach integrating Bitumen Stabilised Materials (BSM) into established German design practices. The structural equivalence of these designs to the existing standard German catalogue designs (RStO 12/24), is confirmed using the Mechanistic-Empirical design method. Bitumen stabilised material characteristics, Mechanistic-Empirical design steps, assumed inputs and the first results for the German catalogue are discussed. The increasing interest in BSM in Germany and the demonstrated financial and environmental benefits in several projects worldwide suggest BSM as a suitable base layer alternative.
