SUMMARY OF TEST METHOD 4.1. Thi

10、s test method is used to determine the presence of elastic response in an asphalt binder under shear creep and recovery at two stress levels at a specified temperature. For performance-graded (PG) asphalt binders, the specified temperature will typically be the PG high temperature as determined in a

11、ccordance with M 332, Section 4. Refer to Note 3 in M 332 for additional guidance. 4.2. Asphalt binder is first conditioned using T 240 (RTFOT). A sample of the RTFO-conditioned asphalt is tested using T 315 (DSR). The 25-mm parallel plate geometry is used with a 1-mm gap setting. The sample is test

12、ed in creep at two stress levels followed by recovery at each stress level. The stress levels used are 0.1 kPa and 3.2 kPa. The creep portion of the test lasts for 1 s, which is followed by a 9-s recovery. Ten creep and recovery cycles are tested at each stress level. 5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1. Th

13、is method is designed to identify the presence of elastic response in a binder and the change in elastic response at two different stress levels while being subjected to ten cycles of creep stress and recovery. Nonrecoverable creep compliance has been shown to be an indicator of the resistance of an

14、 asphalt binder to permanent deformation under repeated load. 6. APPARATUS 6.1. Use the apparatus as specified in T 315. 7. PROCEDURE 7.1. ConditioningCondition the asphalt binder in accordance with T 240 (RTFOT). 7.2. Sample preparationThe sample for the MSCR test is prepared the same as samples fo

15、r T 315 using 25-mm plates. The temperature control will also follow the T 315 requirements. 7.2.1. This test may be performed on the same sample that was previously used to determine the DSR properties of the RTFO residue as specified in M 320. When using the previously tested sample to perform thi

16、s test, a 1-min relaxation period between the tests is required before running this test. When using a new sample to perform this test, the 1-min relaxation period is not required. 7.3. Test protocolPerform the test at the selected temperature using a constant stress creep of 1.0-s duration followed

17、 by a zero stress recovery of 9.0-s duration. Perform the test at 0.1 kPa and 3.2 kPa. Run 20 cycles at the 0.1-kPa stress level followed by 10 cycles at the 3.2-kPa stress level for a total of 30 cycles. Use the first 10 cycles at 0.1 kPa for conditioning the specimen. There are no rest periods bet

18、ween creep and recovery cycles or changes in stress level. The total time required to complete the two-step creep and recovery test is 300 s. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.

19、 AASHTO Record the stress and strain at least every 0.1 s for the creep cycle and at least every 0.45 s for the recovery cycle on an accumulated basis. Record the data points at the peak strain at 1.0 s and the recovered strain at 10.0 s for each cycles local time. Extrapolate prior data to determin

20、e the strain value at 1.00 s and 10.00 s if the DSR does not record the peak and recovered strain as specified. Extrapolated data shall include a measured data point no more than 0.1 s prior to the required time for a creep cycle and no more than 0.5 s prior to the required time for a recovery cycle
