RAPID METHODS OF TEST FOR ROAD MEATERIALS AND ROADS
THIS IS ONE OF THREE "IN-DEPTH STUDIES" APPENDED TO IRF'S 1971 WORLD SURVEY OF ROAD RESEARCH. IT CONTAINS AS AN APPENDIX AN EXTRACT, ENTITLED "RAPIDITY IN TESTING MATERIALS," FROM THE REPORT OF THE PIARC (PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ROAD CONGRESSES) TECHNICAL COMMMITTEE ON TESTS FOR ROAD MATERIALS, PRESENTED AT THE 14TH CONGRESS IN PRAGUE, 1971. THIS "IN-DEPTH STUDY" SUPPLEMENTS THE PIARC REPORT BOTH BY REPORTING MORE SPECIFICALLY ON WORK AT THE ROAD RESEARCH LABORATORY AND BY SURVEYING WORK IN PARTICULAR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. THE PRESENTATION IS TOPICAL, UNDER THE FOLLOWING SUBJECT HEADINGS: TESTS ON SOILS (MOISTURE CONTROL, SPECIFIC GRAVITY, LIQUID LIMIT), MEASUREMENT OF COMPACTION (NUCLEAR METHODS, NONNUCLEAR RAPID METHODS), AGGREGATES, CONCRETE (ACCELERATED CURING, INDIRECT TENSILE TEST, ANALYSIS OF FRESHLY MIXED CONCRETE), BITUMINOUS MIXTURES (GRADING OF AGGREGATE AND BINDER CONTENT, DENSITY OF COMPACTED BITUMINOUS MATERIALS), AND TESTS ON THE COMPLETED ROAD (STRUCTURAL STRENGTH, RIDING QUALITY, SKID RESISTANCE).
