Abstract:

The study "Gyratory Compaction Characteristics: Relation to Service Densities of Asphalt Mixtures" was initiated by the Asphalt Institute for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), contract A001. N sub Design is defined as the compactive effort (number of gyrations at a specific pressure) at which air-void level is measured for volumetric design. To determine the number of gyrations (N sub Design) required to represent various traffic levels in different climates, an experiment was conducted. Once it is shown that gyrations (N sub X) must relate to traffic levels (E sub X) and once the design gyrations are known, one simply can enter the design gyration (N sub Design), representing 20-year design traffic, into the compaction curve of the new mix design to obtain the final percent compaction (C sub X) of that mix; the target is 96% of maximum theoretical specific gravity (MSG). Thus, one can say, at that specific traffic level (gyration) and climate, the mix will compact to C sub X of the given MSG.
