Compaction Rollers and Testing Equipment Work to Provide a Quality Road Surface   Roads & Bridges August 1998
Designed and used to compact material for any number of applications, compaction rollers densify material through the application of static force or dynamic force combined with static force. ROADS & BRIDGES will provide an overview on asphalt compactors and the different size and type of machines that are capable of handling a variety of applications. In addition to asphalt compactors, density gauges, gyratory compactors and other asphalt testing equipment will be reviewed.
