Σύνοψη

The purpose of a flexible pavement surface is to produce a structural system that will carry traffic conveniently and safely at minimum cost.
The performance of a bituminous mixture is influenced by some factors such as flexibility, durability, stability, workability, etc.
For the production of bituminous mixtures plants are used such as batch plant and drum mix plant. The purpose of that plant is to produce bitumen containing the desired proportions of bitumen and aggregate and meeting all specifications.
Bitumen is delivered to the jobsite by trucks. Each type of truck used for delivery must have certain physical features in order to properly haul and discharge into the paver.
The placing process consists of two major units such as tractor unit and screed unit. In addition, the importance of compaction, which is the process of compressing a given volume of bituminous mixture into smaller volume, is uncalculated. Compaction is achieved by rollers.
