REPORT ON FURTHER RESEARCH WORK ON CORRELATION OF LOW TEMPERATURE TESTS WITH RESISTANCE TO CRACKING OF SHEET ASPHALT PAVEMENTS

CORRELATION IS ATTEMPTED BETWEEN LOW TEMPERATURE TESTS AND RESISTANCE TO CRACKING OF SHEET ASPHALT PAVEMENTS. THE RESULTS OF THE MODULUS OF RUPTURE AND MODULUS OF ELASTICITY TESTS AT LOW TEMPERATURE INDICATE THAT PAVEMENTS WITH PROPERTIES TENDING TO RESIST CRACKING ARE NOT MUCH AFFECTED BY WEATHER. PAVEMENTS WITH LOW RESISTANCE TO CRACKING HAVE CRACKED A GREAT DEAL. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE MODULUS OF RUPTURE AND THE MODULUS OF ELASTICITY ARE MEASURES OF THE RESISTANCE TO CRACKING OF SHEET ASPHALT PAVING MIXTURES. THEY APPEAR TO BE SUITABLE CONTROL TESTS FOR USE IN DESIGNING ASPHALT PAVING MIXTURES TO RESIST CRACKING.
