Standard Specification for Preparation of Indirect Tension Performance Test Specimens

Abstract

This practice covers the preparation of 150-mm diameter by 38- to 50-mm thick cylindrical test specimens for use in indirect tension dynamic modulus tests.

This practice is intended for dense-, gap-, and open-graded asphalt mixtures with nominal maximum aggregate sizes up to 25 mm.

This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use.

It is the responsibility of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to its use.
