SUMMARY OF METHOD

11、4.1. This standard describes the procedure for determining the tensile creep and tensile strength to be determined on the same specimen for thermal cracking analyses. 4.2. The tensile creep is determined by applying a static load of fixed magnitude along the diametral axis of a specimen. The horizon

12、tal and vertical deformations measured near the center of the specimen are used to calculate a tensile creep compliance as a function of time. Loads are selected to keep horizontal strains in the linear viscoelastic range (typically below a horizontal strain of 500 106mm/mm) during the creep test. B

13、y measuring both horizontal and vertical deformations in regions where the stresses are relatively constant and away from the localized nonlinear effects induced by the steel loading strips, Poissons ratio can be more accurately determined. Creep compliance is sensitive to Poissons ratio measurement

14、s. 4.3. The tensile strength is determined immediately after determining the tensile creep or separately by applying a constant rate of vertical deformation (or ram movement) to failure. 5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1. Tensile creep and tensile strength test data are required for Superpave mixtures to

15、determine the master relaxation modulus curve and fracture parameters. This information is used to calculate the thermal cracking of HMA. The master relaxation modulus curve controls thermal crack development, while the fracture parameter defines a mixtures resistance to fracture. 5.2. The values of

16、 creep compliance, tensile strength, and Poissons ratio determined with this method can be used in linear viscoelastic analysis to calculate the low temperature thermal cracking potential of asphalt concrete. 5.3. Tensile creep data may be used to evaluate the relative quality of materials. 5.4. Thi

17、s procedure is applicable to newly prepared mixtures, reheated, and recompacted mixtures. Reheated and recompacted mixtures will have lower creep compliance values than newly prepared mixtures when measured under these specific loading conditions and temperatures. 5.5.
