English -- Standard Method of Test for Determining the Fatigue Life of Compacted Asphalt Mixtures Subjected to Repeated Flexural Bending

Abstract

Scope: This standard provides procedures for determining the fatigue life and fatigue energy of 380 mm long by 50 mm thick by 63 mm wide asphalt mixture beam specimens sawed from laboratory- or field-compacted asphalt mixtures and subjected to repeated flexural bending until failure.  This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns 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 use.
