Comparative Analysis of Plastic Deformations in the Asphalt Concrete Mixture Compuction

Abstract

Geometry of the smooth-drum static roller working element determines high speed and short time of load application to the compacted material. Such a mode of loading the hot asphalt concrete mixture leads to the high dynamic resistance to deformation and, as a consequence, to a decrease in the compaction efficiency. The HIPAC roller has a large flat contact area with the compacted material ensuring long duration of the load application. However, the pressure acting on the asphalt concrete layer is relatively small, and this could become a factor in low efficiency. The paper compares values of the plastic deformation appearing during the asphalt concrete mixture compaction by both a static smooth-drum roller and the HIPAC roller. To achieve the goal, the paper accepts a rheological model of the asphalt concrete mixture and establishes the law of the model viscous element behaviour that reflects plastic properties of the compacted material. Taking into account the working elements geometry makes it possible to obtain equations for changing the contact pressure under the smooth drum and the HIPAC roller belt. The paper presents analytical expressions to determine plastic deformations that occur during the asphalt concrete mixtures compaction by a smooth-drum roller and the HIPAC roller. It establishes that plastic deformation from the HIPAC roller is more than 1.3 times higher than plastic deformation from a smooth-drum roller. The paper proves that the HIPAC roller is more efficient than a smooth-drum roller in compacting the asphalt concrete mixtures. Using the HIPAC roller to compact the asphalt concrete mixtures would allow achieving the required material density in fewer passes
