DETAILED TEST PROCEDURES FOR DESIGN AND FIELD CONTROL OF ASPHALT PAVING MIXTURES

THE TEST PROCEDURES WHICH RESULTED FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION OF ASPHALT PAVING MIXTURES ARE DELINEATED. THE APPARATUS USED IN THE LABORATORY IS DESCRIBED AND THE METHOD OF SELECTING DESIGN ASPHALT CONTENTS FROM THE TEST DATA IS DISCUSSED. SINCE THIS TEST METHOD IS ALSO ADAPTABLE FOR USE IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTROL OF PLANT MIXTURES AND FOR DETERMINATING THE PROPERTIES OF IN-PLACE PAVEMENTS BY MEANS OF CORE SAMPLES, A DESCRIPTION OF THESE FEATURES IS INCLUDED. THE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO CONDUCT THE TESTS OUTLINED IS LISTED. THE COMPLETED ASSEMBLY OF MARSHALL STABILITY TESTING EQUIPMENT MOUNTED IN THE CBR FRAME IS SHOWN. /AUTHOR/
