THE PERFORMANCE OF COMPACTION PLANT

FOLLOWING EARLIER STUDIES ON A RANGE OF VIBRATING ROLLERS, IN COMPACTING THREE ROAD MATERIALS IN LOOSE THICKNESSES OF 9 IN. AT A SPEED OF 1.7 M.P.H., TESTING WAS CARRIED OUT ON THE SAME MATERIALS WITH SIMILAR ROLLERS AT MOISTURE CONTENTS NOT COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM; IN ADDITION A HIGHER SPEED OF TRAVEL, 3.5 M.P.H., WAS USED IN SOME CASES TO ASSESS ITS EFFECT AND A PILOT STUDY WAS MADE ON THE COMPACTION OBTAINABLE THROUGH A THICKER LIFT OF CRUSHED ROCK.CONCURRENTLY WITH THESE INVESTIGATIONS THE PERFORMANCES OF A HEAVY CLASS 7-WHEEL PNEUMATIC-TYRED ROLLER, AT DIFFERENT WHEEL LOADS AND TYRE PRESSURES, AND OF A DRAWN STEEL WHEEL ROLLER, BALLASTED UP TO 400 LB PER LINEAL INCH, WERE ASSESSED ON THE SAME MATERIALS. /AUTHOR/
