5 CONCLUSIONS
The development and validation of a dynamical
model that can emulate the field compaction of
asphalt mixes during construction of asphalt
pavements was presented in this paper. A method to
determine the parameters of the model using
laboratory test data and roller information was
developed and the use of this model in replication
field compaction was studied. The model was
developed using established visco-elastic-plastic
representation of asphalt mixes and for the first time,
extended such modelling to the study of field
compaction of asphalt pavements.
Numerical simulations show that this approach
captures the compaction process well and can be
used to study the performance of different type of
mixes used for the construction of asphalt
pavements. The approach presented in this paper is a
first step towards the development and testing of
closed-loop techniques for intelligent compaction of
pavements.
The model used in this paper was derived
assuming rigid base, fixed contact area between
roller drum and asphalt pavement, and constant
speed of the roller during compaction. The effects of
shear flow of asphalt as well as the effects of
confinement at the edges were also not considered.
Future research is aimed at relaxing these
assumptions.
