12、e IDT strength of bituminous mixtures is conductedby loading a cylindrical specimen across its vertical diametralplane at a specified rate of deformation and test temperature.The peak load at failure is recorded and used to calculate theIDT strength of the specimen.4. Significance and Use4.1 The val

13、ues of IDT strength may be used to evaluate therelative quality of bituminous mixtures in conjunction withlaboratory mix design testing and for estimating the potentialfor rutting or cracking. The results can also be used todetermine the potential for field pavement moisture damagewhen results are o

Procedure7.1 Determine the specimen height in accordance with TestMethod D 3549, to the nearest 1 mm (0.05 in.).7.2 For core specimens, measure the diameter, at the midheight along axes that are 90

32、apart, and record the average tothe nearest 1 mm (0.05 in.).7.3 Bring the specimen to test temperature 61C (61.8F)by any of the following three alternative procedures. Therecommended test temperature is 25C (77F).NOTE 3Based on previous experience, a standard temperature that hasbeen used for most I

33、DT strength testing is 25C (77F). Other testtemperatures may be used at the discretion of the user.7.3.1 Procedure APlace the specimen in an air bath for aminimum of 4 hours.7.3.2 Procedure BPlace the specimen in a heavy dutyleak-proof plastic bag and then place the specimen in a waterbath for a min
