Compaction bonus – do the math
• 40% of 5% of the total bid price for HMA = 0.40 x 0.05 = 0.02 or 2% of the total bid price for HMA
• Your project has 30,000 tons of HMA
• You bid $70/ton in-place
• $70 x 30,000 x 0.02 = $42,000 bonus

Two approaches to efficiency:
1. “Ideal way” – we can have whatever we need or want
2. The “real world” way – we do the best we can with what we have
![Page 6: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What affects roller speed?1. Paver speed
2. Rate of mix delivery to the job– Plant schedule, trucking, moisture in aggregate, etc…
3. Mix behind the paver– Temperature of HMA delivered to the paver– Mix characteristics – Stiff or Tender?– Segregation of the mix
• Temperature differentials• Aggregate – highly crushed or ‘round rock’
4. Compaction– Type of compaction equipment– Number of roller passes– Roller settings

1. Paver speed• Should be continuous, smooth operation
• Number and speed of rollers must be balanced with paver speed
![Page 22: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2. Rate of mix delivery to the job• Must be balanced with plant load out capacity
• Paver speed must balanced with rate of mix delivery
![Page 23: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. Mix behind the paver
• Segregation can severely affect compaction– Aggregate, temperature differentials
• Segregation isn’t always visible– quarry– hot plant– loading & unloading trucks– transferring mix to the paver– paver operation & setup
![Page 24: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

4. Compaction
• Must be balanced with paver speed
• Must meet or exceed compaction specs
• Must meet or exceed smoothness specs

How do we maximize HMA compaction efficiency?
By hitting our target density and smoothness with the minimum number of rollers and # roller passes
![Page 34: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Definition: Rolling Pattern
“A rolling pattern is the number, type, and sequence of rollers used in a specific, repetitive pattern that will meet or exceed the density and smoothness specifications for the project.”
![Page 35: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

How to increase the time available for compaction
• Increase HMA temperature behind the paver• Increase plant production temperature• Tarp loads• Keep short windrows• Not too many trucks sitting
• Increase the thickness of the HMA layer• Place one lift instead of two if possible• Breakdown with a pneumatic tire roller• Breakdown in echelon with two double drums
![Page 43: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

What if we’re in the middle of shift and the mix is too cool?
1. Call the plant to see what they can do2. Reduce paver speed3. Add more rollers4. Plan for the next day
• Specify a load out temp when you order mix• Check your trucking operation

Static Steel Drum (tandem) Rollers
• Not efficient for highway work
• Less uniform compaction
• 30/70 weight distribution
![Page 48: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Vibratory Steel Drum Rollers
• Used in all positions
• Amplitude & Frequency
• Static or vibratory
Build density top to bottom
![Page 49: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Pneumatic Rollers
Builds density from the bottom up
• Most common in intermediate rolling
• Knead the mix
• Tight surface

Length of the Roller Pass (cont’d)
Distance = Speed x Time
Roller speed = 320 fpm @ 4,000 vpm
Time = 3 minutes before tender zone (from PaveCool™)
Distance = 320 x 3 = 960 ft
![Page 75: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Length of the Roller Pass (cont’d)
QC tells us we need a 5-pass pattern
Roller distance = 960 ft in 3 minutes
960 / 5 = 192 feet
Length of roller pass = 192 feet

Rolling Patterns• Take density
measurements to establish a rolling pattern
• Established patterns will vary as environmental changes occur throughout the day
• Changes in the mix can affect rolling pattern

Compacting tender mixes
• First, understand what causes mixes to be tender > then you can try to manage it at the source
• How to compact if you’re “caught” with a tender mix

Compaction in the Tender Zone
2 Basic Approaches
1. Use pneumatic tire roller in the tender zone
2. Get density before mix cools to the tender zone
![Page 95: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Temperature Zone Example for Tender Mixes
• Above the Tender zone:320 - 240 F
• Tender zone:240 - 190 F
• Below the Tender zone:190 - 150 F
The exact temperature ranges depend on the mix characteristics.
Do not use steel
![Page 96: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

2. Get density before the mix cools to the tender zone
• Breakdown with two double drum vibratory rollers in echelon
• This means you must know where the tender zone is!!
![Page 100: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)

2. Rolling in Echelon
• Use two rollers in echelon as close behind the paver as possible
• Take advantage of TEMPERATURE
• Rollers can make more passes before the mix cools
• Can be done without a finish roller
![Page 106: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)

Why is it tough to get density?
• Mix temps are lower at edge of mat
• Getting non-segregated mix to the edge of the screed
• Getting enough mix to the edge
• Roll down and bridging of roller drums
![Page 128: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)

Rolling from cold sideis very inefficient
![Page 148: Establishing & Maintaining Efficient Rolling Patterns](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/62a7ae2407fff8502c32bc29/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
Disadvantages of rolling from the cold side
• When rolling from the cold side, bumps are picked up by the roller drum (ie. rocks) and transferred across the mat

A 7-pass pattern versus a 5-pass pattern costs 17-ft per minute of production.
Put the end gates down on the paver, match the joint with the proper horizontal overlap and fluff factor
Efficiency costs nothing:

What to watch for in the field
1. Mix temperature behind the paver
2. Roller speed
3. Distance of rollers behind the paver
4. Amplitude and frequency settings
5. Consistent rolling pattern

To MAINTAIN a rolling pattern, you must…
1. Control paver speed
2. Know the rolling pattern
3. Understand “Time Available for Compaction”
4. Work as a team and communicate!!

Asphalt Compaction Troubleshooting
*Is the mix temperature behind the paver hot enough? > 280°F
Record the following
•Mix temp behind paver•Number & type of rollers•Roller settings (freq/amplitude)•Pattern (# coverages)•Air temperature•Base temperature•Asphalt lift thickness•Mix type•Average percent compaction•Roller operators’ names
No Yes
Is the mix exhibiting tender behavior under the roller(s)?
Verify that the nuke gauge lift thickness setting is less than the actual lift thickness being placed.
Verify that the roller settings of amplitude, frequency and speed are correct per test strip.
Check with the lab or plant to see if oil content and/or gradation changes have occurred.
Verify the nuke gauge calibration with the mix and lift thickness.
If mix is too cool, notify the Job Supervisor immediately.
Keep the steel drum rollers OFF the mix until the tender behavior stops or they will tear up the mat. You can use a rubber tire in tender zone without doing any damage.
Typically low amplitude for lifts less than 2” thick. High amplitude for lifts > 3” thick.
If changes have occurred, assess the impact of these changes on compaction. Call the QC Manager if necessary.
*Know the recommended compaction temperature for the mix design being used. Know the Time Available for Compaction.
Are compaction goals being achieved?
Are the rollers close to the paver?
Yes
No
Move them into hot zone.No
