VARIABILITY IN THE TESTING AND PRODUCTION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURES

THE PRODUCTION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURES IS SUBJECT TO VARIATION ATTRIBUTED TO TWO MAJOR SOURCES RELATED TO /1/ MIXING, COMPOSITION AND THE CHARACTERISTICS IF THE CONSTITUENTS, AND /2/ SAMPLING AND TESTING. A LABORATORY STUDY AND A FIELD INVESTIGATION USING STATISTICAL METHODS OF TWO MIXTURES /SURFACE AND BASE/ PRODUCED BY TWO PLANTS IS PREPORTED BY' /1/ AN ANALYSIS OF THE REPEATIBILITY OF THE MARSHALL STABILITY AND DENSITY TESTS AND RICES MAXIMUM DENSITY TEST, /2/ AN ANALYSIS OF THE VARIATIONS OCCURRING WITHIN A WELL-CONTROLLED PRODUCTION PROCESS, /3/ A DISCUSSION OF THE INFLUENCE OF UNAVOIDABLE PROCESS VARIATION ON MIX DESIGN AND THE SETTING OF SPECIFICATIONS, AND /4/ A DISCUSSION OF THE USE OF STATISTICAL CONTROL CHARTS.
