 The rollers are used for soil compaction.
 The principle of rollers is the application of pressure, which is
slowly increased and then decreased.
 The various type of rollers which are used for compaction.
 Smooth wheeled rollers
 Pneumatic tyred roller
 Sheepfoot roller
 There are two types of smooth wheeled rollers, one three
wheeled or macadam rollers, and other tandem rollers.
 The gross weight of the former type range between 4 to 18
tonnes.
 The compacting efficiency of the smooth wheeled rollers
depends on the weight, width and diameter of each roller.
 The smooth wheeled rollers are suitable for granular soil and
pavement material for the various layer.
 These rollers are pulled by tractors.
 The pneumatic tyred roller are considered to be most suitable
to compact nonplastic silts and fine sand.
 This type of rollers consists of hollow steel cylinder with
projecting feet.
 The weight of roller can be increased by filling the drum with
the wet soil.
 The efficiency of the sheepfoot rollers depend on the weight of
the roller and the number of feet in contact with the ground at
a time.
 A paver (paver finisher, asphalt finisher, paving machine)
is a piece of construction equipment used to lay asphalt on
roads, bridges, parking lots and other such places.

 It lays the asphalt flat and provides minor compaction before it

is compacted by a roller.
