1 Roller Compactor Cum Rut Analyzer (RCRA) an Alternative Compactor for Bituminous Mix Design Dr. B.V. Kiran Kumar, Dr. H.S. Jagadeesh, 3 Dr. R. Sathyamurthy³ Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering, Govt. SKSJTI, Bangalore Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, BMSCE, Bangalore 3 Visiting Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, BMSCE, Bangalore Compaction plays a vital role in performance of a bituminous mixes. In India Marshall Method is adopted for designing bituminous mixes where specimens are prepared using Marshall Hammer. Compaction effort generated by Marshall Hammer doesn't simulate the field compaction effect which leads aggregate degradation during mix design. Other draw back of Marshall Procedure is the number of blows given to compact the specimen is fixed and during compaction the densification data of mixes cannot be recorded, this data plays a vital role in determining Theoretical Maximum Density (TMD). Recent advancement in bituminous mix compaction is Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) a product of Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), which simulates the field compaction effect during specimen preparation for mix design at laboratory. Further it also records the densification data during compaction of mix. With these methods available to compact the bituminous mix at laboratory during mix design, another compacting equipment known as Rolling Compactor cum Rut Analyzer (RCRA) (Patent Pending) machine which is indigenously developed by the authors was used in this project, where it compacts the specimen in laboratory by generating field compaction effect of a roller as well as records densification data of the mix during compaction. Later the same is used to evaluate the performance of mix in terms of rut potential. In this project an attempt was made to evaluate the performance of bituminous mixes designed using three types of compaction equipments, based on the results obtained suitability of the compaction equipments to be adopted during bituminous mix design at laboratory has been suggested. It is well known fact that the quality of bituminous pavement to a greater extent depends upon the degree of compaction. Depending upon the degree of compaction, the strength, durability and stability of the bituminous pavement vary with variation in compaction. The objective and sufficiently accurate control on the degree of compaction appears to be the most important factors. In India procedure followed at laboratories during compaction of specimen for mix design does not represent the field conditions this leads to ambiguity in the results obtained by testing such sample. In laboratory the specimens prepared by Marshall Method of compaction do not match the field compaction condition. In Marshall method of mix design, the specimen is compacted by confining the mix in all direction using a metallic cylindrical mould, where the mix is compacted by using an hammer which has specific weight and height of fall. A total of blows are given to compact the specimen. Further the compaction method leads to degradation of mineral aggregate, as the aggregates are confined in all direction and has no scope to realign and reorient during the compaction of mix by dropping hammer. Whereas in field aggregates which come under the roller will be subjected to kneading action and will be compacted with less chance of aggregate degradation since they have the scope to realign and reorient them self. Hence aggregate degradation during laboratory mix design leads to increase in optimum binder content of the mix and optimum binder content thus obtained when transferred to the field leads to functional and structural failure of pavements. Bituminous Mix Design Practice in India In India, highway agencies still adopt Marshall method of bituminous mix design. The Marshall method entails a laboratory experiment aimed at developing a suitable bituminous mixture using stability / flow and density / voids analysis. The advantage of Marshall method is its attention to density and voids properties of bituminous mixes. This analysis ensures the volumetric proportions of mix materials for achieving a durable mix which is 8 The Masterbuilder February
2 backed by field performance data (Kiran Kumar et. al, ). The Marshall specimen used to determine the volumetric properties of a bituminous mix is prepared using a Marshall Hammer which is used to compact the specimen under a confinement by giving or 7 blows on both sides of specimen. The number of blows given to compact specimen depends on traffic. The weight of hammer used to compact is 44. N and height of fall being 47 mm. During this process the aggregate degradation takes place, aggregate structure which is carefully chosen to achieve maximum density is lost. Where in case of field compaction of bituminous mix under a roller, the material has certain scope for the movement or adjust itself under the roller with this, in field compaction the bituminous mixes are subjected to kneading action but in case of a Marshall hammer the blow given by hammer from a height of 47 mm damages the aggregate structure by producing dynamic loading effect rather then kneading action. Recent advancement in Marshall method of compaction is to use indented Marshall hammer, by doing so the compaction of specimen will be similar to the field compaction this is because the indent caused on face of Marshall hammer allows the aggregate to realign when it is compacted using Indented Marshall hammer. Introduction to Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) Strategic Highway Research Programme (SHRP) developed a compactor known as Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) which simulates field compaction effect at laboratory. The SGC is used to produce specimens for volumetric analysis during a bituminous mix design and it also records data to provide a measure of specimen density throughout the compaction. The unique features of SGC are a loading mechanism which presses against the reaction frame and applies a load to the loading ram to produce a. n/mm compaction pressure on the specimen. The SGC mould has a base plate at bottom and the mould which provides confinement during compaction. The SGC base rotates at a constant 3 revolutions per minute during compaction with the mould positioned at a compaction angle of.o (SP, ). Specimen height measurement during compaction is an important function of SGC. Specimen density can be estimated during compaction by knowing the mass of material places in the mould, the inside diameter of the mould and the specimen height. Using these measurements the specimen's compaction characteristics can be developed. Here since the base is rotated at an angle of. this accommodates the movement of the material without getting confined in mould and this also helps in reducing aggregate degradation. The constant pressure applied from the top and rotation of base compact's the mix by kneading action which is similar to that of field compaction of bituminous mix under a roller. Introduction to Rolling Compactor and Rut Analyzer (RCRA) The RCRA is an indigenously developed compactor by the authors. The unique features of this compactor are it can apply a constant pressure of. n/mm and if required the pressure can be applied up to 3 n/mm. Similarly the rolling speed in the compactor can be varied. It has a temperature control unit which maintains the pre selected compaction and rut test temperature. The equipment can record densification data of the mix while compaction. Using the densification data the specimen's compaction characteristics can be developed. The compactor is an hydraulically operated with twin non return valve system and has a Programmable Logical Circuit (PLC) which is inturn connected to vertical and horizontal transducers capable of recording changes of + mm. The following are the novel features of RCRA. RCRA produces field compaction effect (kneading effect) in laboratory during compaction of specimens in bituminous mix design. RCRA can record the densification data during compaction of specimen. RCRA can maintain a Pre selected temperature during compaction or rutting test. RCRA is a completely stable Machine and does not require foundation to install. RCRA is mounted on castor wheels and can be transported with easy and can be used as quality control machine at site or laboratory. RCRA can be operated with ease and it is maintenance free. RCRA has a capability of applying pressure up to 3 n/mm so that tyre and compaction pressure can be varied and its effect on mix can be studied. RCRA is capable of change in speed during rolling or rutting operations. The entire operation of compaction of slab and rutting test is automated and there is less human intervention to temper the test results. Formulation of Problem The issue addressed earlier regarding the compaction by Marshall Hammer doesn't simulate the field condition during compaction in laboratory and hence it is to be replaced by a compactor which can replicate or simulate field compaction during preparation of the sample in the laboratory. In order to cater for these requirements a design practice was developed by the United States Congress named has SHRP one of the main objectives of this programme was to develop a compactor which can simulate the field condition during preparation of specimen for mix design. But SGC developed under the SHRP was able to simulate the field compaction effect during laboratory specimen preparation to some extent. But the problems faced The Masterbuilder February 9
3 in this compactor were, it is an expensive compactor and very sophisticated equipment which needed a lot of maintenance. Another issue with SGC was that, it cannot prepare a specimen in the desired shape and size. For example SGC cannot prepare a Beam Specimen or a Slab Specimen which are required for various performance tests in order to evaluate the bituminous mix. These difficulties have led the researchers to find an alternative compactor which can simulate the field compaction and also be cost effective and versatile. In present study an ernest effort is made to over come the above difficulties by using RCRA. Where RCRA generates the field compaction effect (i.e., kneading action) with that it can produce different shapes and size of specimens for various performance tests on bituminous mix. In current study mix design was conducted on Bituminous Concrete (BC) Grade using three different compaction equipments viz., Marshall Hammer, Superpave Gyratory Compactor and Rolling Compactor cum Rut Analyzer. Optimum Binder Content (OBC) of the mix for three compactors was found out. Further BC Grade specimens were cast using different compactors at there respective OBC's, these specimens were subjected to performance tests such as Fatigue Test, Indirect Tensile Strength test, Rutting, Binder Recovery and Moisture Sensitivity test. Suitability of compactors for mix design at laboratory was evaluated using the above performance test results. Laboratory Studies Material Characterization Test on Bituminous Binder Bitumen of Viscosity Grade3 (VG3) grade was used for the present studies, tests on binder, results and codes of practice followed are indicated in Table..

Mix Design using RCRA Slabs of 3. mm height 7 mm wide and mm in length at varying binder content were prepared using RCRA. Cores of mm diameter were drawn from the slabs, OBC and other volumetric properties were found out using cores drawn. Figure. explains step by step process involved in bituminous mix design using RCRA. Step involves, mixing aggregate blend with varying binder content by weight of mix then heat the same and further place in RCRA for compacting into slab. Step involves drawing cores from compacted slabs in order to determine the density voids characteristics of the mix. Step3 determines the voids and density properties of the cores drawn. Based on the voids and density relation OBC for the mix is established. Step4 involves determination of Marshall Stability of the mix. This was done in order to ensure that the mix compacted using RCRA satisfies the Marshall Stability and Flow value criteria.

It was observed that both SGC and RCRA specimens were able to carry load. times more that of Marshall Hammer specimen. Figure. shows the fatigue test results at + C for BC. Conclusion It was found that the OBC for BC mix at 4. % air voids design criteria where., 4.8 and 4.9 percent by weight of mix, when compacted using Marshall, Superpave and Rolling Compactor respectively. Here the lower binder content for the same Binder Extraction Test Binder extraction test was conducted in order to evaluate the aggregate degradation that would take place due to variation in the type of compaction while preparing the specimen. The tables 8. indicate that the RCRA compacted specimens results in a maximum of 3% aggregate degradation whereas SGC compacted specimen shows a maximum variation of % and Marshall Hammer compacted specimen show a maximum variation of %. The test was a clear indicator that RCRA compacted specimens where subjected to less aggregate Figure 8. Comparison of Rutting Test results at + C Figure 9. Rutting Test on Bituminous Slab using RCRA degradation this can be attributed to the kneading effect of compactor and creation of enough space in the mould (7 X mm) which provide enough scope for the aggregates to adjust and realign themselves when it is subjected to compaction. Figure. Comparison of Fatigue Test at + C aggregate structure was obtained by using SGC and maximum stability of 39kgs is shown by the specimen compacted using SGC wherein the aggregate and binder being the same for all the three compactors. In case of a Roller Compactor specimens exhibited stability value which was near to that of SGC this is because in case of RCRA and SGC the specimen is compacted to obtain the maximum theoretical density but in case of Marshall the number of blows are confined to 7 or on each side of mould based on the traffic conditions. The density of SGC compacted specimens were higher when compared to specimen compacted using other compactors and this has been substantially supported by the test results of moisture sensitivity test wherein the specimens compacted by SGC has more resistance to moisture damage than that of specimens compacted by other compactors. There is an improvement in the compaction characteristics of specimens compacted using Sieve Size in mm Gradation After Binder Extraction Test MH SGC RCRA Desired Gradation Table 8. Gradation after Binder Extraction Test SGC and RCRA compactors when compared to Marshall Hammer. In case of Rutting test specimens cast at OBC of RCRA The Masterbuilder February
8 performed much better than of specimens cast at OBC's of SGC and Marshall. RCRA specimens carried passes before causing a rut of mm, whereas SGC specimen sustained passes by causing mm rut. Whereas Marshall specimen sustained passes only. In case of fatigue test SGC and RCRA specimens carried. times more repetitions then that of Marshall hammer compacted specimen. Further binder extraction test has clearly exhibited that specimen compacted by using RCRA undergoes less aggregate degradation since the compaction provides enough scope for the aggregates to realign and adjust during compaction of specimen when compared to SGC or Marshall Hammer compacted specimen, where the aggregate structure and binder remain same for all the compactors. From the above study it can be concluded that RCRA is a compactor which produces compaction effect which is similar to field compaction and aggregate degradation does not happen. It can be used as quality control equipment and determine the rutting characteristics of various bituminous binders. Further it is required to take up a full fledge study by laying test tracks of BC layer with various OBC's obtained from these compactors and the test tracks needs to be evaluated at a constant interval.
