| dc.description.abstract | Hot-mix paving is carried out by a stochastic materials-handling and transfer system consisting of a plant sub-system, a paving sub-system, and a distribution sub-system. To investigate the performances of hot-mix systems, and distribution sub-systems in particular, a model is developed for computer simulation of hot-mix production-distribution-laydown operations. Input values for operating variables of the model are obtained from field observations and cost data. Analyses are made of conventional hot-mix systems using the model. The effects of surge loading and windrowing are investigated. Innovative and/or unconventional systems are also investigated to determine their potentials for use in the field. | en |
