Standard Method of Test for Determining Dynamic Modulus of Hot Mix Asphalt
(HMA)
This test method covers procedures for preparing and testing hot mix
asphalt (HMA) to determine the dynamic modulus and phase angle over a range of
temperatures and loading frequencies.
This standard is applicable to laboratory-prepared specimens of mixtures
with nominal maximum size aggregate less than or equal to 37.5 mm (1.48 in.)..
This standard may involve hazardous material, operations, and equipment.
This standard does not purport to addressall of the safety concernsassociated with
its use. Itis the responsibility of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.AASHTOT 242:
Standard Method of Test for Frictional Properties of Paved Surfaces Using a Full
Scale Tire
This method covers the measurement of the frictional properties of paved
surfaces with a specified fulkscale automotive tire.
This method utilizes a measurement representing the steady-state friction
force on alocked test wheelas it is dragged overa wetted-pavementsurfaceunder
constant load and at a constant speed while its major plane is parallel to its
direction of motion and perpendicularto the pavement.
The values measured represent the frictional properties obtained with the
equipment and procedures stated herein and do not necessarily agree or correlate
directly with those obtained by other pavement friction measuring methods. The
values are intended for use in comparing certain frictional properties of a
pavement relative to those of other pavements or for evaluating changesin these
frictional properties of a pavement with the passage of time. The values are
insufficient to determine the distance required to stop a vehicle on either a wet or
a dry pavement. They are also insufficient for determining the speed at which
control of a vehicle would be lost, because peak and side-force friction are also
required for these determinations.
ASTM E670 - 09(2015)
Standard Test Method for Testing Side Force Friction on Paved Surfaces Using the
Mu-Meter
This test method coversthe measurement of the side force friction of paved
surfacesutilizing a device commonly called a Mu-Meter.
This test method utilizes a measurement obtained by pulling the Mu-Meter,
containing two freely rotating test wheels angled to the direction of motion, over
a pavement surface at a
constant speedwhile the test
wheels are under a constant
static load.
This method provides
data of the side force friction
(and other data) along thewhole length of the test surface being tested which is applied to a variety of
computerized algorithms enabling the production of results including (but not
limited to) rolling averages, numeric and graphical representations, friction
mapping and reports formatted in the layout approved by a wide variety of
national airport regulators.
ASTM D3387-11
Standard Test Method for Compaction and Shear Properties of Bituminous
Mixtures by Means of the U.S. Corps of Engineers Gyratory Testing Machine (GTM)
This method employs a testing machine that generates a precisely
controlled gyratory kneading process, whichis used to prepare and test specimens
of bituminous paving mixtures. This method is intended for use in bituminous
mixtures design and control testing as well as accelerated traffic simulation. The
objective is to compact to the ultimate in place density under the anticipated
vertical stress while monitoring the process in terms of unit mass, and shearing
resistance including the plastic properties. Particular attention is given to the
development of the plastic properties associated with the compaction
phenomenon. The maximum permissible bitumen content is indicated directly by
the first evidence of a progressive increase in shear strain (as indicated by a
progressive increase in the gyratory angle) accompanied by a progressive
reduction in shear strength (as indicated by a progressive reduction in roller
pressure.) The procedures described here are for mix design and plant control as
wellas accelerated traffic simulation.
ASTMC1781/C1781M-15
Standard Test Method for Surface Infiltration Rate of Permeable Unit Pavement
Systems
This test method covers the determination of the field surface infiltration
rate of in place permeable unit pavement systems surfaced with solid interlocking
concrete paving units, concrete grid paving units, or clay paving brick. Tests
performed at the same location across a span of years may be used to detect a
reduction of infiltration rate of the permeable surface, thereby identifying the
need for any remedial maintenance intended to increase the infiltration rates topredefined levels. The infiltration rate obtained by this method is valid only for the
localized area of the pavement where the test is conducted. To determine the
surface infiltration rate of the entire permeable pavement, multiple locations must
be tested and the results averaged.
