Description:
A rut is a surface depression in the wheel path(s) or at the edge
of pavement. Rutting comes from a pavement deformation in any of
the pavement layers or the subgrade, usually caused by consolidation
or lateral movement of the materials due to traffic loads. Movement
in the mix in hot weather or inadequate compaction during construction
is the main cause of rutting.
