This method sets out the procedure for assessing aggregate shape as a ratio of Average Greatest Dimension to Average Least Dimension. This test method can also be downloaded as a 

This test method describes the procedure for establishing sampling locations, sampling intervals or test locations within a lot, which has been defined in terms of mass, volume, perimeter or batches. The method contains procedures which allow…

This method describes the procedure for obtaining a measure of the evenness of a pavement surface as determined by the deviation from a three metre straightedge. It is applicable only to the measurement of depressions in the pavement surface and to…

This test method defines the procedure for locating and identifying surface cracks in a road pavement using an automated crack detection system.

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection velocity of road pavements using a traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) device.

This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement surface macro-texture determined using a laser profilometer, by comparing them to the measurements from a static or manual reference device.

This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement roughness determined using an inertial profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement rutting determined using a laser profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the surface macro-texture of road pavements, determined by the direct measurement of the road surface profile using a laser profilometer.
