AN INVESTIGATION OF FIELD- AND LABORATORY-COMPACTED ASPHALT-RUBBER, SMA, RECYCLED, AND CONVENTIONAL ASPHALT-CONCRETE MIXES USING SHRP PROJECT A-003A EQUIPMENT (WITH DISCUSSION)

It has long been documented that different laboratory compaction methods can produce specimens with different degrees of resistance to permanent deformation as measured in laboratory testing. The task of the experiment described in this paper was to compare the performance of laboratory-compacted specimens of asphalt-aggregate mix to field-compacted specimens, with the objective of estimating which laboratory compaction method produces specimens most similar to those produced by field compaction. The laboratory methods considered were Texas gyratory, rolling wheel, kneading, SHRP gyratory, and Marshall hammer compaction.
