ABSTRACT:
Obtainment of specific asphalt paving densities during roadbed repair by preshaping hot mat top surfaces concurrent with or/and prior to compaction. Like a shaped munition, a preshaped top surface on recently laid hot asphalt mat transmits surface compacting forces in precalculated directions and carries therewith asphaltic materials so as to obtain desired finished paving densities. A conventional strike off bar is modified with base indentations which partially and wholly, according to desired specifications, grade or top dress hot asphaltic mat with desired, force-transmitting shaped planes. Adjunct apparatus is employed by way of translating and rotating plates to partially or wholly cover the indentations so as to effect various, but differing, desired shapes; such adjunct apparatus includes a unique, edge and rut compaction shoe. An improvement to the conventional vibrating screed is also employed to effect the initial asphaltic mat shape while simultaneously tamping the shape gradually into its desired and compacted final form. This conforming screed is used with the modified strike off apparatus and a roller compactor or may be used in lieu of either. Likewise, it may employ the compaction shoe device for pre-compacting edge, seam or rut portions of a roadway.
