Abstract

The article discusses the 2 big threats to quality by paving contractors namely temperature differentials and aggregate segregation as they both yield excessive air voids or inadequate density. Topics discussed include the material transfer vehicle (MTV) tool paving contractors can access to ensure quality results and control throughout the paving project and the goal of paving contractors to have a finished paved mat smoothness as measured on the International Roughness Index (IRI).
