SYMPOSIUM-THICKNESS VARIATION OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE - PART 2 - IMPORTANCE OF RIDING QUALITY-AUTOMATIC PAVERS CAN PROVIDE
THE CONCEPT HEREIN DESCRIBED BEGINS WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE STARTING SURFACE. THE AUTOMATIC APPLICATION BEGINS WITH THE PAVER MAKING ITS INITIAL SPREAD. THE PROCEDURE HEREIN DESCRIBED IS KNOWN TO THE AUTHOR TO BE ONE THAT WHEN DILIGENTLY FOLLOWED, CONTRACTOR AND ENGINEER CAN CONSTRUCT A RIDING SURFACE THEY ARE PROUD OF EVERY TIME. THERE ARE CERTAIN ITEMS CONTAINED HEREIN WHERE DISAGREEMENT MAY EXIST WHICH IS NO REASON FOR PRECLUDING THE USE OF AUTOMATIC CONTROLS. SCREED CONTROL IS AS VERSATILE TO CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES AS ASPHALT ITSELF IS TO THE HIGHWAY USES FOR WHICH REASON IT CAN BE UTILIZED TO THE FULLEST OR IT MAY BE USED IN PART, WITH THE AREA BYPASSED WHERE DISAGREEMENT EXISTS. IN GENERAL THE FOLLOWING HEADINGS OUTLINE THE RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE' 1/ PREPARATION OF THE STARTING SURFACE, 2/ AUTOMATION USED ON ALL SPREADS, AND 3/ PLAN THICKNESS CONTROLLED BY YIELD METHOD. /NAPA/
