Abstract
The Shymkent city, located in the south of Kazakhstan, has become a megalopolis. The population and traffic intensity on roads of the city are growing, which outpace the rate of increase in road strength. The traffic flow contains public transport with a large capacity and heavy trucks. The climate of the region is characterized by a long hot period. The above factors caused the appearance of rutting on asphalt concrete road surfaces in the city. This paper studies rutting on city roads with asphalt concrete pavement. In field conditions, the characteristics of rutting and influencing factors were determined.
