From page 3...
... 3 Asphalt surfaced roadways comprise the vast majority of the nation's roadway network. As states continually deal with critical infrastructure needs and limited budgets, ensuring a long service life from asphalt pavements is critical.
From page 4...
... 4 Impact of Asphalt Thickness on Pavement Quality of transportation (90%) and more than 60 industry representatives to assess the current state of the practice and recent experience relative to the effects of lift thickness.
From page 5...
... Introduction 5 is on lift thickness, some other options are presented to facilitate compaction if the lift thickness cannot be increased. Of course, lift thickness and mixture type also affect pavement structural design, but the focus of this synthesis is the effect of lift thickness during construction on the compactibility of the mix -- the ability to densify the mat sufficiently and uniformly -- and the resultant pavement performance.
