GETTING ON THE MATUSE GOOD RELEASE AGENT


PNEUMATIC TIRE RULES

ON NEAT ASPHALT USE WATER SPRAY ON INTERMITTENT LOW

RUN ROLLER BETWEEN 190F-225F

ON MODIFIED ASPHALT USE WATER SPRAY ALL THE TIME

RUN THE ROLLER BETWEEN 185F-212F ALL TEMPERATURES ARE SURFACE TEMPS.




COMPACTION BY VIBRATION



WE REARRANGE THE AGGREGATE



WE REARRANGE THE AGGREGATE WE LOCK UP THE AGGREGATE

STRUCTURE WE LEAVE IMPACT MARKS IN THE HMA MAT WE CONTROL THE SPACING OF THESE

IMPACT MARKS, SO YOU WILL NOT SEE OR FEEL THEM, BY MATCHING- TRAVEL SPEED & FREQUENCY


SYSTEMS ON VIBRATORY ROLLERS

AMPLITUDE: THE HEIGHT THE VIBRATING MASS MOVES FROM THE MATERIAL BEING COMPACTED-IN ONE ROTATION OF THE VIBRATING MASS.

FREQUENCY: THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE VIBRATING MASS MOVES IN A MINUTE- VIBRATIONS PER MINUTE OR V.P.M.

FREQUENCY AND AMPLITUDE CREATE A GIVEN AMOUNT OF CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.

BEST PRACTICE FOR COMPACTING WARM AND HOT MIX

ASPHALT

YES WE CAN


CONCLUSIONS:COMPACTION OF WARM MIX AND

HOT MIX ASPHALT FOLLOW BASIC BEST PRACTICE

WARM MIX, DEPENDING ON MIX DESIGN HAS BEEN EASIER TO COMPACT-----AND WE HAVE REDUCED THE # OF ROLLERS, BUT THIS IS THE EXCEPTION


BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD COMPACTION

UNDERSTAND ALL THE VARIABLESKNOW THE SPECS; KNOW THE JOB LAYOUTESTABLISH A PATTERN TO ACHIEVE:

COVERAGE, DENSITY, SMOOTHNESS, AND BALANCED PRODUCTION

KNOW THE BASIC OPERATION OF EACH TYPE OF ROLLER

TRAIN AND COMMUNICATE EVERY DAY
