• DO’S DON’T’S
• NEW

WHY?
• 1. COMPACTION IS THE LAST
STEP IN ASPHALT PAVEMENT
CONSTRUCTION
• 2. COMPACTION NOT ONLY
AGFFECTS PAVEMENT
PERFORMANCE; BUT OFTEN
DETERMINES IF WE GET BONUS

IMPORTANCEOFCOMPACTION
• IMPROVE MECHANICAL STABILITY
• IMPROVE RESISTANCE TO PERMANENT DEFORMATION
• REDUCE MOISTURE PENETRATION
• IMPROVE FATIGUE RESISTANCE

HOW ? DO WE
COMPACT
• Is a mechanical process:
• ________ compresses HMA into a smaller denser volume after placement by applying one or more of the 4 forces of compaction
• Increases mixture stability:
I

• ________ forces asphalt coated aggregate particles closer together
• ________ achieves particle to particle contact

FORMULA
•
•
•
•
S= Paver Speed (ft./min.)
W= Lane Width (ft.)
L= Lift Thickness (ft.)
D= Density (lbs./ft.3)
FORMULAEXAMPLE
•
•
•
•
Paver Speed= 40 ft./min.
Lane Width= 12 ft.
Density= 135 lbs./ft.3
Lift Thickness= .166 ft. = 2 inches
• Tons/Hour= S x 60 min. in1 hr.x 1 ton in 2000 lbs.x W x L x D
• Tons/Hour = 40 x 60 x 12 x .166 x135 divided by 2000= 322 Tons/ Hour

• Breakdown Roller: 84” Double Drum Vibratory 4000 vpm
• Roller maintains a min. of 10 impacts per foot (IPF) = 400 fpm
• 400 fpm has to be reduced by # of passes to cover 400 fpm has to be reduced by # of passes to cover

INTELLIGENT COMPACTION IS:
IntelligentCompaction?
WHAT IS INTELLIGENT COMPACTION
INTELLIGENT COMPACTION IS NOT:
• A SYSTEM THAT MEASURES DENSITY
• ALWAYS AN ACCURATE
MEASUREMENT OF STIFFNESS AS
RELATED TO DENSITY; IT DEPENDS
ON QUALITY OF BASE
• NOT NEEDED ON ALL ROLLERS
• A SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE STIFFNESS OF HMA ON THE ROLLER
• A RECORDING OF THAT STIFFNESS MEASUREMENT; IS A GOOD PROOF ROLLER
• PROOF OF THE STIFFNESS OF THE HMA AS RELATED TO DENSITY
• PROVIDES INFORMATION FOR THE ROLLER TO MAKE DECISIONS – NOT THE ROLLER OPERATOR
• A QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES FEEDBACK ON MATERIAL STIFFNESS AS RELATED TO THE NUMBER OF PASSES MADE AND LOCATION OF PASSES
COMPONENTS OF
INTELLIGENT COMPACTION
• OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS
• MAPPING SYSTEMS

Pavingfaults
Shoving effect
Mat shoves under roller drums
- Roller too heavy on a tender mix (too high linear load)
- Drum diameter too small
- Asphalt mix not stable
- Compaction start at too high T°C
avingfaults
Asphalt sticks to the drum
‐ Mix being compacted at too high T°C
‐ Roller drums not wet enough
‐ Bitumen of tack coating or of joints sticks to the drums
Hint: Start compaction with permanent spray (short term) for quickly wetting the drums.
Pavingfaults
Longitudinal joints
Possible causes
- Pre-compaction too low
- Imperfections of underlay (also layer compound)
