COMPACTION EQUIPMENT FOR ASPHALT MIXTURES. PART I

Three basic types of self-propelled compactors are currently used to achieve satisfactory density and finish of asphalt concrete paving mixtures: steel wheel static rollers, pneumatic tired rollers, and vibratory steel wheel rollers. The article traces the development of these different compactor types. Subjects covered include an analysis of the compaction process, roller contact area details, lay-down and compacted lift thicknesses, relationship of drum diameter, contact pressure and penetration depth, and others.
