The act of compressing a given volume of material into a smaller volume. Consensus Properties Aggregate characteristics that must follow certain criteria to satisfy a Superpave mix design. Specified test values for these properties are not source specific but widely agreed upon. They include Coarse Aggregate Angularity, Fine Aggregate Angularity, Flat or Elongated Particles, and Clay Content. The degree of fluidity of asphalt cement at any particular temperature.
Corrugation is a form of plastic deformation typified by ripples across the pavement surface.
These distortions usually occur at points where traffic starts and stops, on hills where vehicles break on the downgrade, on sharp curves, or where vehicles hit a bump and bounce up and down. They occur in asphalt layers that lack stability. This reduction in slab length minimizes reflective cracking in new HMA overlays. A large stone, open graded asphalt mixture placed over a distressed pavement that minimizes reflective cracking by absorbing the energy produced by movement in the underlying pavement. The total unscreened product of a stone crusher.
