This study aims to investigate the relationship between different roller compaction modes and resulting mechanical performance. In order to accomplish these objectives, a trial asphalt pavement section was observed and monitored both during the paving and compaction processes. Asphalt mix was sampled from the paver to be used later in laboratory and evaluate the differences between compaction in-field and laboratory. Asphalt concrete mixes were prepared and compacted in the laboratory using a steel roller compactor, with varying factors that influence compaction in terms of compaction modes (static, vibratory and a combination of both), as well as effort and temperatures in order to attempt to simulate field compaction conditions. The identification of a harmonised compaction procedure for specimen fabrication able to produce mixtures with stiffness properties resembling field compacted mixtures was also investigated based on the performance-based test results.
