SELECTION OF TEST EQUIPMENT
THIS PAPER COVERS THE PRIMARY ASPECTS OF THE INVESTIGATION MADE TO SELECT A METHOD OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT DESIGN AND CONTROL WHICH WOULD UTILIZE PORTABLE TESTING APPARATUS IN THE FIELD. IT WAS PARTICULARLY DESIRED THAT THE APPARATUS BE ADAPTABLE TO THE CBR TESTING EQUIPMENT. THE AVAILABLE TEST EQUIPMENT MOST NEARLY CONFORMING TO THESE LATTER REQUIREMENTS WAS MARSHALL STABILITY EQUIPMENT. THE MARSHALL EQUIPMENT COMPARED FAVORABLY WITH THE RECOGNIZED HUBBARD- FIELD EQUIPMENT AS TO MEASUREMENT OF STABILITY, SENSITIVITY TO ASPHALT CONTENT, AND REPRODUCTION OF TEST RESULTS. IT WAS DECIDED TO ADOPT THE MARSHALL APPARATUS AND TO DEVELOP AND PERFECT IT FOR BOTH DESIGN AND CONTROL OF BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS IN THE FIELD.
