Construction Troubleshooting
Lack of In-place Density
- Check temperature of mixture
- Verify aggregate gradation and binder content are within mix design tolerances
- Verify that proper rolling pattern developed in control strip is being followed
- Reestablish control strip and rolling pattern
- Assure anti-strip is at propoer rate IF REQUIRED
- Warm mix asphalt technologies will increase workability and compactability of treatment.
Uncoated aggregate in the plant mix
- Check for excess moisture in the aggregate
- Check the plant for worn or missing flights and for insufficient mixing time
Mix Segregation
- Check loading and unloading of haul trucks for proper procedures
- Check operation of paver for improper folding of paver wings
- Check for adequate head of material to paver augers and screed
- Check mixture for proper binder content
Mix has lean or dull appearance
- Check mixture for too little asphalt or excess minus No. 200 material
