CompactionMeasurementandReporting

CompactionreducesthevolumeofairinHMA.Therefore,thecharacteristicofconcernisthevolumeofairwithinthecompactedpavement,whichistypicallyquantifiedasapercentageofairvoidsinrelationtototalvolumeandexpressedas“percentairvoids”.Percentairvoidsiscalculatedbycomparingatestspecimen’sdensitywiththedensityitwouldtheoreticallyhaveifalltheairvoidswereremoved,knownas“theoreticalmaximumdensity”（TMD）or“Ricedensity”afterthetestprocedureinventor.

AlthoughpercentairvoidsistheHMAcharacteristicofinterest,measurementsareusuallyreportedasameasureddensityinrelationtoareferencedensity.Thisisdonebyreportingdensityas:

∙PercentageofTMD（or“percentRice”）.Thisexpressionofdensityiseasytoconverttoairvoidsbecauseanyvolumethatisnotasphaltbinderoraggregateisassumedtobeair.Forexample,adensityreportedas93percentRicemeansthatthereare7percentairvoids（100%–93%=7%）.

1.ByapplyingitsweighttotheHMAsurfaceandcompressingthematerialunderneaththegroundcontactarea.Sincethiscompressionwillbegreaterforlongerperiodsofcontact,lowerequipmentspeedswillproducemorecompression.Obviously,higherequipmentweightwillalsoincreasecompression.

2.Bycreatingashearstressbetweenthecompressedmaterialunderneaththegroundcontactareaandtheadjacentuncompressedmaterial.Whencombinedwithequipmentspeed,thisproducesashearrate.Loweringequipmentspeedcandecreasetheshearrate,whichincreasestheshearingstress.Highershearingstressesaremorecapableofrearrangingaggregateintomoredenseconfigurations.

ThesetwomeansareofcompactingHMAareoftenreferredtocollectivelyas“compactiveeffort”.

SteelWheelRollers

Steelwheelrollers（seeFigures6and7）areself-propelledcompactiondevicesthatusesteeldrumstocompresstheunderlyingHMA.Theycanhaveone,twooreventhreedrums,althoughtandem（2drum）rollersaremostoftenused.Thedrumscanbeeitherstaticorvibratoryandusuallyrangefrom35to85inchesinwidthand20to60inchesindiameter.Rollerweightistypicallybetween1and20tons（seeFigures5and6）.
