West Virginia Asphaltic Concrete Test Road
This paper presents the background information that led to the asphaltic concrete test road, and describes in detail the planning and programming that preceded construction. The purposes of the test road were (1) to determine the effect of temperature of asphaltic concrete at the time of mixing and placement on the compaction and properties of the pavement, and (2) to correlate pavement characteristics with mixture design properties. The paper describes in detail the procedures and personnel used to control plant production and field operations during construction, and the equipment and procedures used to collect test data. The data collected include the following: temperature measurements from the time of mixing to completion of compaction, the bulk density, stabilometer and cohesiometer value of pavement cores, nuclear density, air permeability, Benkelman Beam deflections, skid resistance, and viscosity tests on recovered asphalt. The test road has nineteen test sections. At the time this report was written, the test data were only partially analyzed; therefore, the summaries of test results that are presented are generalities based on incomplete data. (Author)
