Abstract:

In order to avoid blindness in production by asphalt mixture compaction method and reducehuman disturbance,the steps of making specimen by asphalt mixture compaction method based on equalmass method are is proposed. It combines equal mass method and produces samples of different heightsaccording to the requirements of current test specifications to determine the optimum asphalt content ofasphalt mixture under different conditions. The experimental results show that the asphalt mixture designedby the compaction method has balanced performance,which provides a basis for the manipulability of thespecimen made by the compaction method.
