Density
Target density established in control strip with uniform section Weak areas with same roller pattern will have
lower density Thick or thinner sections due to rutting/scabbing
will impact density Scabs make break loose under rolling and impact
density

Ride Quality
Initial ride quality may be acceptable
Over time, rubber tired rollers (vehicle’s tires) will complete compaction and distort the surface and lead to a poor ride

Profitability
Pay factors based on: In-place density testing Final ride quality/improvement – Rideability
Test

Achieving a Uniform Platform
Leveling courses for roads not milled Variable depth lift Fills ruts Assists in returning cross section to
pavements

Achieving a Uniform Platform
Leveling courses for roads not milled
Milled roads with scabbing Re-mill to remove scabs

Achieving a Uniform PlatformLeveling courses for roads not milled
Milled roads with scabbing Re-mill to remove scabs (best approach) Scratch course over scabs (alternate approach)
