Levels of Compaction of Dense Coated Macadam Achieved During Pavement Construction
This Report is an appraisal of the compaction currently being achieved in pavement layers constructed with dense coated macadams in the United Kingdom. Compaction is expressed in terms of density, void content and voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA). The effect of material composition on compaction is considered for all sites and a detailed assessment is made of the effect of laying and compaction procedures in the case of 7 sites where construction was observed. An examination of the rolling procedures indicated that there is scope for increasing the level of compaction in the position of the nearside wheel path. Further cores will be removed 12 months after the roads were opened to determine the extent of further densification under traffic. (Modified author abstract)
