Abstract:

This conference was held during the Highway Research Board Annual meeting in January 1974. There were seven presentations, each followed by discussion, and a general discussion at the end of the conference. At that time there were no plans to publish any part of the conference; however, the entire proceedings were recorded on tape, and eventually it was decided to publish the presentations and all discussion. Of the presentors, only R. W. Beaty declined the opportunity for publication. It was concluded that the proceedings could be published by omitting this presentation and the discussion pertaining directly to it without detracting from the remainder of the document. Some editing has been done to clarify the meaning, but the text is essentially still in the verbal presentation form. There are some statements in the proceedings that are definitely "dated", that is, statements which were correct in 1974 but which are not necessarily correct in 1983. Nevertheless, the vast majority of the material is correct. The committee decided that despite its age the report contains much information which has not appeared elsewhere in the technical literature and would otherwise be lost. This information has added significance in light of the present questioning of maximum limits of moisture content and minimum temperatures for mixingg, laydown and compaction of hot mixes. (Author)
