Evaluation of laboratory compactive effort on asphaltic concrete mixes

Evaluation of laboratory compactive effort on asphaltic concrete mixes

Good compaction is the most important factor to consider when constructing asphalt mixture either in the laboratory or in the field. The higher compactive effort presents the higher density to the pavement. The 75 blows as compactive effort in designing laboratory Marshall mixes sample is usually se...
