Σύνοψη

The purpose of a flexible pavement 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, workability, stability, impermeability and stiffness.
For the procedure of production of bituminous mixtures two types of plants are used: the batch plants and the drum-mix plants. Despite the fact that in these plants the procedure takes time their purpose is to produce bitumen containing the desired proportions of bitumen and aggregate and satisfying all the specifications.
Bitumen is delivered on site by trucks. Trucks are designed properly so that they deliver and discharge material properly into the paver.
The placing process is very important such as the compaction at the end because the life cycle of the pavement depends at a large rate to these two factors. Having a good mix design is not enough for the workability of the pavement; a good compaction process is demanded.
