Abstract:Although several factors can influence the performance of an asphalt pavement, one of the most important is in-place density. A small increase in density can potentially lead to a significant increase in service life of asphalt. Recognizing the importance of in-place density in building cost-effective asphalt pavements, FHWA initiated a three-phase demonstration project from 2015 to 2018: “Enhanced Durability of Asphalt Pavements Through Increased In-place Pavement Density.” The objective of this demonstration project was to support agencies in their evaluation of current density requirements for acceptance.
