11.8 Compaction Simulations in Other Fields
Compaction is not a problem that is unique to asphalt concrete. It is also a problem
studied in soil, granular materials, and cement concrete. While these materials are sig-
nificantly different, the compaction process may demonstrate similarities, for example,
the log-scale law (e-logp, e-logN) relationships. At microscopic scales, these materials
(granular soil, asphalt concrete, and cement concrete) have a similar aggregate (particle)
skeleton with different binding media. Collaboration research among different disci-
plines is beneficial.
