10、oted in the scope, this method is intended to evaluate the effects of saturation and accelerated water conditioning, with a freezethaw cycle, of compacted asphalt mixtures. This method can be used to test: (a) asphalt mixtures in conjunction with mixture design testing (lab-mixed, lab-compacted); (b

11、) asphalt mixtures produced at mixing plants (field-mixed, lab-compacted); and (c) asphalt mixture cores obtained from completed pavements of any age (field-mixed, field-compacted). 3.2. Numerical indices of retained indirect-tensile properties are obtained by comparing the properties of laboratory

12、specimens subjected to moisture and freezethaw conditioning with the similar properties of dry specimens. 4. SUMMARY OF METHOD 4.1. Test specimens for each set of mix conditions, such as those prepared with untreated asphalt binder, asphalt binder treated with antistripping agent, or aggregate treat

13、ed with lime, are prepared. Each set of specimens is divided into subsets. One subset is tested in dry condition for indirect-tensile strength. The other subset is subjected to vacuum saturation and a freeze cycle, followed by a warm-water soaking cycle, before being tested for indirect-tensile stre

14、ngth. Numerical indices of retained indirect-tensile strength properties are calculated from the test data obtained by the two subsets: dry and conditioned. 5. APPARATUS 5.1.

20、 specimens. The edges of the loading strips shall be rounded to the appropriate radius of curvature by grinding. 6. PREPARATION OF LABORATORY-MIXED, LABORATORY-COMPACTED SPECIMENS 6.1. Make at least six specimens for each test, half to be tested dry and the other half to be tested after partial satu

21、ration and moisture conditioning with a freezethaw cycle (Note 1). Note 1It is recommended that two additional specimens for the set be prepared. These specimens can then be used to establish compaction procedures as given in Section 6.5 or 7.4 and the vacuum saturation technique as given in Section

22、 10.3. 6.2. Specimens 100 mm (4 in.) in diameter by 63.5 2.5 mm (2.5 0.1 in.) thick, or 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter by 95 5 mm (3.75 0.20 in.) thick are used. Specimens 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter by 95 5 mm (3.75 0.20 in.) thick should be used if aggregate larger than 25 mm (1 in.) is present in the

23、mixture. 6.3. Prepare mixtures in batches large enough to make at least three specimens or, alternatively, prepare a batch large enough to just make one specimen at a time. If preparing a multispecimen batch, split the batch into single-specimen quantities before placing in the oven. 6.4. After mixi

This level of voids can be obtained by adjusting the number of blows in T 245; adjusting foot pressure, number of tamps, leveling load, or

33、 some combination in T 247; or adjusting the number of revolutions in T 312 or ASTM D3387. The exact procedure must be determined experimentally for each mixture before compacting the specimens for each set (Note 2). 7.5.

At the end of the curing period from Section 6.6 or 7.5, as appropriate, the specimens shall be wrapped with plastic or placed in a heavy-duty, leakproof plastic bag. The specimens shall then be placed in a

43、25 0.5C (77 1F) water bath for 2 h 10 min with a minimum 25 mm (1 in.) of water above their surface. Then test the specimens as described in Section 11. 10.3.

Apply a vacuum of 13 to 67 kPa absolute pressure (10 to 26 in.Hg partial pressure) for a short time (approximately

45、 5 to 10 min). Remove the vacuum and leave the specimen submerged in water for a short time (approximately 5 to 10 min). Note 4The time required for some specimens to achieve the correct degree of saturation (between 70 and 80 percent) may be less than 5 min. In addition, some specimens may require
