1、Designation: D6926 16Standard Practice forPreparation of Asphalt Mixture Specimens Using MarshallApparatus1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6926; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers preparation and compaction of 4 in.(101.6 mm) diameter by nominal 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) highcylindrical as

3、phalt paving mixture specimens. This practice isintended for use with laboratory and plant-produced asphaltmixtures with aggregate up to 1 in. (25.4 mm) maximum sizeand for recompaction of asphalt paving mixture samples.1.2 There are three types of Marshall compaction apparatusin use. The following

4、types of hammer arrangements areincluded in this practice:1.2.1 Manually held hammer handle is attached to a flatcompaction foot through a spring-loaded swivel and is handoperated (original standard developed by the United StatesArmy Corps of Engineers).1.2.2 Hammer handle restrained laterally (fixe

5、d) but notvertically, attached to a flat compaction foot through a spring-loaded swivel and is either mechanically or hand operated.There may or may not be a constant surcharge on top of thehammer handle. Mechanical hammers are available that oper-ate at (1) nominal 55 blows per minute or (2) equal

6、to or greaterthan 75 blows per minute.1.2.3 Hammer handle restrained laterally (fixed) with con-stant surcharge on top of hammer, is attached to a slantedcompaction foot on a rotating mold base, and is mechanicallyoperated. This method must be used as a referee method.1.3 Although the mass and heigh

7、t of mass drop for eachapparatus are the same, density achieved in compacted speci-mens with the same number of blows will be different. It is upto the owner or specifier to establish the specific requirednumber of blows to be used for compaction of the specimen inrelation to the field.1.4 UnitsThe

8、values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard. The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory materia

This designation is limited to specimen

18、sthat have not been permitted to cool substantially, but PMLCsamples may be placed in a laboratory oven to equilibrate themix to the compaction temperature before molding.3.2.3 reheated plant mix lab compacted (RPMLC) asphaltmixture, nasphalt mix samples that are manufactured in aproduction plant, s

19、ampled prior to compaction, allowed to coolto room temperature, then reheated in a laboratory oven andcompacted using a laboratory compaction apparatus.3.2.3.1 DiscussionRPMLCs are often used for qualityacceptance and verification testing. The reheating is as brief aspossible to obtain uniform tempe

20、rature while avoiding artificialaging of the specimens. Asphalt mix conditioning, reheattemperature, and reheat time should be defined in the appli-cable specification.4. Significance and Use4.1 Compacted asphalt mixture specimens molded by thisprocedure are used for various physical tests such as s
