Best Answer

A paving machine typically has a crew of three... the paver operator, who drives the paver, and the screed operators. The screed is what spreads and levels the asphalt, and the operators adjust the screed plates to ensure that the roadway is laid smooth, is the right thickness, and is adjusted for the road crown when applicable.

What is the function of the floor screed?

The function of floor screed is to make a structural level floor surface above a waterproof membrane. It is usually made by either pumping in a special mix of self- levelling runny 'concrete - like' material or more traditionally a sharp sand and cement mix. Traditional screed is tamped by a large flat wooden or aluminum beam, which is called a screed, from which screed gets it's name. It should be very flat once finished and can be tiled once it has dried out, which can take weeks. It is usually laid over an insulation foam and often has electric heating elements or warm water pipes in it to make it into a large radiator. Thin screed needs to be reinforced to make it strong enough for the loads that are put on top of it which can be steel mesh or special fibres. This means that thinner screeds are often made up of specialist ingredients to make them self levelling and strong.
