Permeability of Hot Mix Asphalt Pavements as Related to Types of Rollers

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of roller type on permeability of hot mix asphalt pavements. Five field test sections were constructed comprising mixes with different nominal maximum aggregate sizes and mix types. One side of each section utilized only a steel drum roller operated in static and vibratory modes, while the other side incorporated a pneumatic tire roller as an intermediate roller. Cores were obtained from each side of the section and the permeability was determined using the laboratory permeameter in accordance with ASTM PS129-01. Results of this study indicate that pavements compacted using a pneumatic tire roller resulted in a lower permeability, thus suggesting the vital role of the roller during the compaction process to produce a more durable pavement.
