Effects of Temperature Segregation on the Volumetric and Mechanistic Properties of Asphalt Mixtures
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has released a report that determines the impact of temperature segregation on the quality of asphalt mixtures. Temperature segregation is a non-uniform temperature distribution across the mat of uncompacted asphalt mixtures during paving operations. Some areas of the asphalt mat are cooler than the required compaction temperature, resulting in lower field densities.
