Test Specimens5.1 Selection of Bitumen Content for SpecimensThe op-timum amount of bitumen for the aggregate may be determinedby the method commonly employed by the laboratory.5.2 Preparation of Mixtures:5.2.1 Obtain a sieve analysis on the fine and coarse aggre-gate

20、(aggregate shall be separated by means of a 4.75-mm (No.4) sieve). Separate the aggregate into the various size fractionsnecessary for accurately recombining into test mixtures con-forming to specified grading requirements.5.2.2 Combine the moisture-free aggregates into batchesweighing 1200 g.

For tar mixtures, heat the aggregates and tar to thedesired temperatures, not to exceed 107C (225F). Mixing ofthe aggregate and bitumen shall be as thorough and rapid aspossible; mechanical

24、mixing is recommended.5.2.3 When mixing is completed, transfer the mix to asuitable flat pan approximately 279 by 178 by 25 mm (11 by 7by 1 in.) and cure this mixture for 2 to3hatatemperature of146 6 3C (2956 5F).FIG. 1 California Kneading CompactorFIG. 2 Face of Compactor RamD 1561 92 (2005)e12NOTE

25、 5Another procedure that has been used is to cure this mixturefor 15 to 18 h at a temperature of 60 6 3C (140 6 5F) in an ovenequipped with air circulation.NOTE 6Bituminous mixtures may also be prepared in accordancewith requirements of other test methods for which it is desired to use theCalifornia

26、 kneading compactor.5.3 Compaction of Specimens:5.3.1 TemperaturesUse one of the three following speci-fied temperatures when compacting the bituminous mixture.The mixtures and molds shall be brought to temperature priorto molding operations.5.3.1.1 60C (140F) for mixtures containing liquid-gradeasp

27、halts.5.3.1.2 110C (230F) for mixtures containing paving gradeasphalts.5.3.1.3 Room temperature for mixtures containing liquidgrade asphalts when it is desired to test with whatever moisturemay be present in the mixture.5.3.2 Molding SpecimensPlace the compaction mold inposition in the mold holder a

28、nd insert a paper disk, 101.6 mm(4 in.) in diameter, to cover the base plate of the mold holder.Place a steel shim under the edge of the mold temporarily inorder to have the base plate of the mold holder act as afree-fitting plunger during the compaction operation. Preheatthe round-nose rod. Weigh o

29、ut the required amount of bitumi-nous mixture for one specimen at the specified temperature andplace in the insulated feeder trough, which shall have beenpreheated approximately to the compaction temperature formixture. Spread the mixture uniformly on the feeder trough toensure uniformity when trans

30、ferring to the mold. By means ofa paddle of suitable dimensions to fit the cross section of thetrough, push one-half of the mixture into the mold. Rod theone-half portion of the mixture 20 times in the center of themass and 20 times around the edge by means of the round-noserod. Transfer the remaind

31、er of the sample to the mold andrepeat the rodding procedure. Place the mold and assembly intoposition on the California kneading compactor. By means ofthe variable transformer controlling the heater, maintain thecompactor foot sufficiently hot to prevent the mixture fromadhering to it. Apply approx

32、imately 20 tamping blows at apressure of 1.7 MPa (250 psi). The number of tamping blowswill vary, depending upon the type of the mixture, the purposebeing to form the mixture into a semi-compacted condition sothat it will not be unduly disturbed by the full pressure of 3.4MPa (500 psi). After semi-c

33、ompaction has been accomplished,remove the shim and release the mold-tightening screw suffi-ciently to allow approximately 3 mm (18 in.) side movement ofthe mold. Increase the compactor foot pressure to 3.4 MPa andapply 150 tamping blows to complete compaction in theCalifornia kneading compactor.NOT

34、E 7When testing referee samples for the purpose of qualifying acompactor, use only material for the test specimens which will compactunder the maximum foot pressure prescribed in 5.3.2 without visiblemovement, distortion, or penetration of the compactor foot.NOTE 8In some instances where sandy or un

35、stable material isinvolved, it may not be possible to accomplish the compaction in thekneading compactor because of undue movement of the mixture under thecompactor foot. In these instances use a 178-kN (40 000-lbf) static load(for a 101.6-mm (4-in.) diameter specimen) applied by the double plungerm

36、ethod in which a free-fitting plunger is placed on both the bottom andtop of the test specimen. Apply the load at the rate of 1.3 mm (0.05in.)/min and hold for 30 6 5s.5.3.3 Application of Static LoadAfter compaction in theCalifornia kneading compactor, place the mold and the speci-men in an oven at

37、 60C (140F) for the following periods oftime prior to applying the static leveling off load:If compacted at 60C (140F) 1 hIf compacted at 110C (230F) 1.5 h5.3.4 The “leveling off” load shall consist of the applicationof a static load of 56 kN (12 600 lbf) in a compression testingmachine. Use a testi

38、ng machine head or platen speed of 6 mm(0.25 in.)/min. Apply the load by the double plunger method inFIG. 3 Funnel, Feeder Trough, and Mold Assembly of the California Kneading CompactorD 1561 92 (2005)e13which metal followers are employed as free-fitting plungers onthe top and bottom of the specimen

39、. After releasing the“leveling off” load, measure the height of the specimen to thenearest 0.25 mm (0.01 in.), record the measurement, and placethe specimen, in the mold, in an oven in order to obtain thedesired temperature for testing.NOTE 9A push-out device for removing the specimen is described i
