A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A research study was recently undertaken to evaluate the capabilities of vibratory rollers to compact asphaltic concrete pavements. The performance of these rollers was compared to relative density and surface smoothness criteria contained in Department specifications as well as to results produced by conventional rolling methods. It was determined that vibratory rollers could meet the requirements set forth in the specifications. General appearance of the pavement surface compacted by vibratory rollers was found to compare favorably with pavements compacted by static weight rollers. Surface ripples, undulations and other objectionable features were not found to be a major problem on the projects constructed under this particular research study.
