The article investigates the impact of applying a dynamic computational model that considers inertia forces on pavement deflections under rapidly changing loads over time. This study is particularly relevant to the modelling of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing. Initially, the article examines the deflection values obtained from computational models under loads with varying frequencies.

Highly modified binders are characterized by extraordinary properties resulting from the reversal of the binder-polymer phase. This contributes to very good test results for asphalt mixes.
