A SUMMARY OF THE FIELD COMPACTION OF ASPHALT MIXTURES IN TEXAS. FINAL REPORT

This report summarizes the density data which were obtained from 17 construction projects in Texas. The data were analyzed to determine the level of density and variations being achieved. In addition, an evaluation of the adequacy of various density determination techniques was conducted. Also included is a limited evaluation of nuclear density measurements.
