An experimental analysis of the effects of compaction on asphalt pavement macrotexture
Surface characteristics of asphalt pavements unquestionably represent one of the
most important factors influencing road safety and comfort. Recently, many studies on macrotexture
have been made, focusing on characterizing asphalt pavement surfaces. Less frequently, the attention
has been directed to the characterization of the actual process that generates the surface macrotexture.
This paper shows the results of an investigation campaign aimed at analyzing the effects of different
compaction techniques on macrotexture for different asphalt layers. The measures, acquired by means
of the sand patch method, have been related to the compaction parameters, involving both machine
settings and operating procedures. A comprehensive examination of the data reveals a significant
influence of compaction parameters on surface characteristics, proving the direct dependence of
macrotexture on construction operations. The relationships found for each asphalt mix represent a
useful tool for predicting the value of macrotexture obtainable at the end of a compaction procedure
