... The plan was to select the t/NMAS that gave optimum density; but, as will be shown later, the results from the Superpave gyratory compactor data did not provide a conclusive answer; hence, additional work was needed to better establish the appropriate ratio. It was then decided to look at many of the same mixes with a vibratory compactor, to establish whether the vibratory compactor would better simulate field compaction and would provide more conclusive results The experimental variables included two aggregates, three gradations, two nominal aggregate sizes for Superpave, and three nominal aggregate sizes for SMA.
