FACTORS AFFECTING PAVEMENT (ROAD) DESIGN

Temperature is the important environmental factor to be considered in the design of pavement. In the case of asphalt roads, temperature affects the resilient modulus of the surface course. In very hot conditions asphalt layers lose their stiffness. At low temperatures, asphalt layers become brittle and cracks are formed.

3.5 The density results obtained by this test method are relative. Correlation with other test methods such as D1188 or D2726 are required to convert the results obtained using this method to actual density. It is recommended that at least seven core densities and seven nuclear densities be used to establish a conversion factor.

Factors affecting asphalt compaction | Asphalt magazine

The goal in compacting an asphalt mix is to produce a smooth, stable and durable asphalt pavement. Understanding the factors affecting compaction is an important step in achieving this goal. Jim Scherocman is a consulting engineer specializing in asphalt pavement design and construction. He can be reached at (513) 489-3338.
