Originální abstrakt

Pavement of tram track is an important part of its structure. Development of defects and failures significantly decreases the running comfort and safety of road traffic. Reparations of undesirable defects of pavements increase life cycle costs of tram track structures. Shortening of lifetime adversely influences the economic efficiency. Defects and failures of pavements of tram tracks have been monitored by the Department of Railway Structures and Constructions and the Department of Road Structures in cooperation with Brno City Municipality for more than ten years. Many of the tram track sections with asphalt pavements in different technical stage have been monitored. Nevertheless one section has been continuously monitored more than seven years including the construction works. The main result of these investigations is a catalogue of defects and failures of asphalt pavements. These defects and failures are typical for tram track. The catalogue supplements the catalogue for general defects of asphalt layers. The catalogue summarizes most of defects and failures which are figured out in the photograph annex. The catalogue also provides information about the main reasons and mechanisms of defects development. The recommendations for maintenance and reparation works are included to the catalogue too. These days the main solved task is designing of a modern structure for tram tracks of Brno City. This design takes into consideration all experience from the monitoring of asphalt pavements. The design is aimed especially to noise and vibration reduction and in regard to reduce life cycle costs. These days the main task is to design a modern structure for tram tracks of Brno City.
