Sample Preparation - Compaction of Asphalt Slabs
This method sets out recommended procedures for mixing, compacting, conditioning and trimming asphalt to provide homogeneous specimens suitable for wheel track testing, beam flexure testing, resilient modulus testing and other asphalt…
Asphalt Particle Loss
This test method sets out the procedures for determining particle loss (abrasion) from laboratory prepared specimens of open graded asphalt. The test may be performed on dry samples or after period of moisture conditioning.
Asphalt Binder Content (Ignition Oven Method)
This method details the determination of the binder content of asphalt mixes by ignition at a temperature of not less than 540°C and the subsequent determination of the particle size distribution by sieve analysis.
Binder Film Index
This test method sets out the calculation procedures for the determination of a Binder Film Index. The test is applicable to all types of asphalt.
Verification Procedure for a Gyratory Compactor
