Abstract:The main objective of this investigation was to study the possibilities of improving the density of asphaltic concrete pavements at the time of construction to approach the values obtained during the first year of traffic service, in order to eliminate excessive rutting (longitudinal grooves) resulting from additional densification by heavy loads. Furthermore, it was intended to determine the optimum requirements; such as, the required number of passes of roller, weight, tire pressure and approximate rolling temperatures.
It was also planned to use the measurement devices, installed during this work, in an extended temperature study of asphltic concrete pavements to determine the maximum and minimum seasonal temperature obtained in Louisiana.
