Included
| Dynamic Modulus E to AASHTO T378/TP79 and NCHRP 9-29 A performance.related property, for asphalt mixture evaluation and charachterising the stiffness of HMA. It is an important input parameter for AASHTO “Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide”. |
| Creates master curves for structural design |
| Assess modified binders and local materials |
| Forensisc analysis of pavement failure |
| Flow number to AASHTO T378 and NCHRC 9-29 Flow number is related to the resistance of HMA to permanent deformation. |
| Repeated load creep tests |
| Evatluate rutting |
| Accurate simulation of actual loading |
| Flow time to NCHRP 9-29 Flow time is a quick and simple measurement of the resistance of HMA to permanent deformation. |
| Static creep tests |
