... 51 This chapter summarizes the overall findings of the synthesis. Last, it points out gaps in the state of the knowledge and topics that could be the subject of additional research, as observed by survey respondents and the literature review.
From page 52...
... 52 Impact of Asphalt Thickness on Pavement Quality compaction of coarse mixes. As air void content increases, density decreases and the likelihood of excessive permeability increases.
From page 53...
... Conclusions and Further Research 53 issues, maintaining cross-slopes and curb heights, scratch courses, to limit drop-offs, and to control costs. About half the contractors responding indicated they would ask for exceptions in some cases such as anticipated compaction issues, smoothness requirements, late season paving, and maintenance of traffic issues.
