摘要: |
To achieve 4.0% air voids in laboratory-compacted hot-mix asphalt with the Superpave gyratory compactor, different gyration levels are currently specified in the Superpave manual, each applicable to a particular combination of traffic and maximum pavement temperature. Two 1-year-old and four 2-year-old in-place densities were compared to those obtained from Superpave compaction of laboratory-prepared specimens and from compaction of reheated plant-produced mixtures. The gyration numbers corresponding to in-place density fell below 100 for all the mixes. At similar gyration levels, density of compacted, reheated, and laboratory-prepared specimens indicated an average difference of about 1%. Current data show that the N(design), N(initial), and N(max) gyration levels may be too high, at least for lower traffic. Evaluation of the currently specified N(design) values will be refined when the 3-year in-place density data become available. |
