Baigiamojo magistro darbo tikslas – ištirti Lietuvos automobilių keliams naudojamų bitumų savybes ir bitumo kiekio įtaką asfalto kokybės rodikliams. Naudojantis eksperimentinių dangų konstrukcijų bandomojo ruožo tyrimų duomenimis, atlikta viršutiniojo asfalto sluoksnio kokybės rodiklių analizė. Atlikus šių duomenų analizę, nustatytas bitumo kiekio ir mišinio fizikinių – mechaninių rodiklių tarpusavio koreliacinis ryšys. Pagal VĮ „Problematikos“ laboratorijoje atliktus bitumų tyrimų duomenis, nustatyta bitumo savybių rodiklių sietis. Tyrimų medžiaga apdorota statistiniu paketu „Statistica“. Pateiktos sunormintos bitumo kiekio ir fizikinių – mechaninių rodiklių vertės, atliktas bitumų kokybės rodiklių vertinimas. Pateiktos išvados ir rekomendacijos. / The main aim of this Master work is to analyse quality parameters of asphalt pavement and quality indicators of bitumen use for Lithuanian Roads. Using the results of the research on experimental pavement structures the quality parameters of the top layer of asphalt was analyzed. The analysis of the data allowed the correlation between the bitumen content and asphalt mixture physical and mechanical indices to be determined. Using the results of the research on „Problematika“ laboratory allowed the correlation between bitumen properties parameters. The research material was processed by means of the statistical software package „Statistica“. Standartized bitumen content and asphalt mixture physical and mechanical indices, bitumen quality indicators were valued. The conclusions and recommendations are provided.

The main aim of this thesis paper is to determine the influence of physical and mechanical indices of asphalt concrete pavement on the operational properties of Lithuanian highway pavement as well as on the functional lifetime of road pavement. The analysis of pavement condition of Lithuanian highways is presented. The classification regarding the damage and deformation of material used for the construction of asphalt concrete pavement and of road pavement structure is provided. The causes of the afore-mentioned damages and deformations are also explained and rectification methods which can be applied to eliminate these causes are described. The operational conditions of the road pavement and its structure as well as the applicable methods are theoretically justified. In addition, the physical and mechanical indices of asphalt concrete pavement of the highway Vilnius – Kaunas - Klaipėda (A1) and of pavement roughness in accordance with IRI research data are given. The analysis of the data allowed the correlation between the two items to be determined. The research material was processed by means of the statistical software package “Statgraphics 5.1 Plius”. Standardized physical and mechanical indices of asphalt concrete pavement which affect the functional lifetime of pavement structure are presented. The conclusions and recommendations are provided.
