VIBRATORY ROLLER EVALUATION

IN A FIELD EVALUATION OF VIBRATORY ROLLERS, AN END-RESULT SPECIFICATION BASED ON A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DENSITIES OBTAINED ON PREVIOUS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS INDICATED 98 PERCENT OF LABORATORY DENSITY (MARSHALL) TO BE DESIRED FOR BITUMINOUS CONCRETE, CLASS I BASE. THE MINIMUM AVERAGE OF FIVE DENSITY TESTS WAS SET AT 96.4 PERCENT. CONVENTIONAL ROLLERS, VIBRATORY ROLLERS, AND COMBINATIONS THEREOF WERE QUALIFIED ON THE BASIS OF DENSITY-GROWTH CURVES DETERMINED ON ONE OR MORE 1000-FOOT TEST SECTIONS. AN OVERALL AVERAGE COMPACTION OF 97.8 PERCENT OF MARSHALL DENSITY WAS OBTAINED ON THE CUMBERLAND PARKWAY PROJECT. /AUTHOR/
