An all-day workshop at the 84th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) addressed asphalt practitioners' concerns related to specifying and achieving density during hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement construction. The workshop was divided into four mini-sessions with the following themes: Optimizing HMA Construction Temperatures; Recent Advances in Compaction Equipment, Including "Intelligent Compaction"; Longitudinal Joint Density; and Incentives-Disincentives for Construction Quality. The papers in this document are invited papers for this workshop.
