21、tic apparatus by the combination of vertical displace-ments of a segmented rolling compactor foot and horizontalmovements of a rolling compactor foot relative to the compac-tor tray to produce a slab of compacted asphalt with a targettheoretical density (that is, based on the geometric volume ofthe

22、specimen).5. Significance and Use5.1 Asphalt slabs compacted with the rolling compactor canbe used to obtain specimens for further testing, including bulkspecific gravity following Test Methods D1188, D2726, andD6752, fatigue performance characteristics following TestMethod D7460 or AASHTO T 321, an

23、d Hamburg wheel-tracktesting following AASHTO T 324.5.2 Specimens to perform other standard tests could also beobtained, as long as their volume is contained within thevolume of a slab.NOTE 1The quality of the results produced by this standard aredependent on the competence of the personnel performi

24、ng the procedureand the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used.Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification D3666 are generallyconsidered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling,inspection, etc. Users of this practice are cautioned that compliance withSpecifi

25、cation D3666 alone does not completely ensure reliable results.Reliable results depend on many factors following the suggestions ofSpecification D3666 or some similar acceptable guideline that provides ameans of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Segmented Rolling Compa

26、ctorA compactor capableof fabricating asphalt slabs comprised of the following systemcomponents: (1) reaction frame, (2) fully integrated loadingsystem, including loading rams, controller, and data acquisitionto record loads applied, height measurements, and number ofcycles, and (3) segmented rollin

27、g compactor foot and mold.The compactor must comply with the following specifications:6.1.1 Vertical load divided by the width of the moldperpendicular to the rolling direction is adjustable by the userup to at least 75 kg cm.NOTE 2The vertical load should be measured and controlled to anaccuracy of

28、 65 % of the applied load. The loading system used to achievethe required load can be electromechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic.6.1.2 The capability to perform at least four load cyclesevery minute.6.1.3 The compactor must be capable of producing com-pacted slabs with minimum dimensions of 300 6 5

29、mm long,260 6 5 mm wide, and with a minimum height measured at thecenter of the slab of 38 mm.6.1.4 The controller must also be capable of automaticallyterminating the compaction run after meeting one of threetermination criteria: sample height, number of loading cycles,or target density. The contro

30、ller shall state that the compactionis finished and the termination criterion (height, cycles, ortheoretical density) shall be recorded.NOTE 3Since the dimensions of the mold and the mass of the mixtureare known, the theoretical density can be calculated.6.1.5 The reaction frame shall be rigid and c

31、apable ofsustaining the maximum forces generated during the compac-tion process. It shall also be able to sustain the reaction forcesbeing applied to the mold.6.1.6 The loading system (see Fig. 1) shall consist of a1. Rolling compactor foot 4. Mold2. Pivot 5. Rolling compactor tray3. Linear loading

32、point 6. SampleFIG. 1 Example Schematic of a Rolling CompactorD8079 162controlled vertical axis loading system capable of applying acompressive load to the mix during compaction. The systemshall be able to control the height of the rolling compactor footusing displacement or vertical load. The syste

33、m can use leverarms, electric motors, pneumatics, hydraulics, or a combinationthereof to control the height or load of the rolling compactorfoot.6.1.7 The machine shall be designed such that the rollingcompactor foot movement ensures constant distance betweenthe foot and bottom of the mold along eac

34、h cycle.6.2 Mold PlatesWear plates used on top and bottom of thespecimen and rolling compactor foot. All mold plates and therolling compactor foot shall be fabricated from metal strongenough to withstand the applied forces. The mold bottom plateshall be flat (0.5 mm over 300 mm).6.3 ThermometerA pla

35、tinum resistance thermometer(PRT), thermocouple, or dial-type thermometer with a range ofat least 10 C to 232 C. Calibrate the thermometer system(probe and readout) in accordance with Test Methods E644.Corrections shall be applied to ensure accurate measurementswithin 63 C.6.4 BalanceAt least one ba

36、lance with a minimum capacityof 8000 g, with a sensitivity of 0.1 g.6.5 OvenAt least one forced draft oven, capable of heatingthe asphalt binder, aggregates, and equipment to the compac-tion temperature specified by the asphalt binder manufacturer,and thermostatically controlled to 63 C. If short te

37、rm ovenaging is going to be conducted on the mix, an additional forceddraft oven capable of maintaining 63 C must be available foruse.6.6 MiscellaneousMiscellaneous equipment may include:flat bottom metal pans for heating aggregate and asphalt mixes;scoops; containers for heating asphalt binders; mi

38、xing spoons;spatulas; tine rake; protective gloves for handling hot equip-ment; portable aids to lift moderately heavy items in alaboratory setting; and mechanical mixers.7. Preparation of Apparatus7.1 Follow manufacturers recommendations for turning onthe rolling compactor.7.2 Place the mold in the

39、 oven at the selected compactiontemperature at least 30 min prior to loading the mix in thecompactor.7.3 Heat or coat any tools with an asphalt release agent toprevent mix from adhering to the tools.8. Preparation and Conditioning of the Loose Mix8.1 To prepare and condition the mix prior to compact

40、ion,follow local and national standards for preparation of samplesand adjust the quantities of materials such that the total mass ofthe mix produced in the laboratory or obtained from a plant issufficient to produce the required compacted specimen volumeand a companion loose mix sample suitable to d

41、etermine thetheoretical maximum specific gravity of the asphalt mixaccording to Test Methods D2041 or D6857.NOTE 4The total mass will depend on the target density of the slaband the slab width, length, and height. For typical asphalt mixes, weightsbetween 10 and 90 kg have been used to make slabs.8.

42、1.1 To obtain a sufficient mass of asphalt mix for PMLCor RPMLC mixes, use Practice D979/D979M. Otherwise, forLMLC mixes, prepare a sufficient quantity of asphalt mix usingAASHTO M 323 or Asphalt Institute MS-2.9. Procedure9.1 Preparation and Filling the Mold:9.1.1 Distribute the total mass to be us

43、ed during compactionin equal amounts in separate pans. Record the total mass to beplaced in the mold.NOTE 5Pans with net weights of asphalt mix between 5 kg and 7 kgare manageable during the compaction process.9.1.2 Heat mix to compaction temperature.9.1.3 Remove heated mold from oven and place it i

44、n a safeand convenient location.9.1.4 Transfer the loose mix from the pans into the mold.9.1.5 With a scoop, place 1.0 to 2.0 kg of mix in smallmounds evenly spaced throughout the mold to reduce segre-gation and to prevent low and high density areas. Spread outthe mounds with a spatula or tine rake

45、for each layer. Use avibrating motion with a spatula or rake to settle the mix and fitit within the mold.NOTE 6If the asphalt mix contains fiber reinforcement, follow thefiber manufacturers instructions for molding the sample to avoid fiberorientation bias.9.1.6 Once all the mix has been placed, spr

46、ead the surface ofmix such that it is approximately level with a spatula or tinerake.9.2 Compaction of a Specimen:9.2.1 Slide the mold and asphalt mix onto the rollingcompactor tray and lock the mold to the frame following themanufacturers instructions.9.2.2 Enter the number of cycles and height or

47、density toterminate the test. Load cycle is the horizontal linear move-ment of the rolling compactor foot or mold that allows therolling compactor foot to move from the edge of the compac-tion mold to the opposing edge and then return to the startinginitial edge. Select whether the rolling compactor

48、 foot will belowered by incremental height or load. Enter other specimeninformation as required in the rolling compactor software.NOTE 7Experienced operators can complete steps 9.1.3 9.2.2 in lessthan 5 min. To maintain temperature, the process should take no longerthan 10 min.9.2.3 Follow the manuf

49、acturers instructions to start thesample compaction. When the required vertical load or dis-placement is applied to the sample, compaction takes placeuntil one of the selected termination criteria, sample height,number of loading cycles, or target density, is achieved.9.2.4 When a termination criterion is achieved, the rollingcompactor foot is removed vertically to avoid further compac-tion.9.2.5 When the termination criteria cannot be achieved, therolling compactor should have software controls in place toterminate the compaction.D8079 1639.3 R
