Full Description

This standard practice describes procedures for mixture conditioning of compacted and uncompacted hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Three types of conditioning are described: (1) mixture conditioning for volumetric mixture design; (2) short-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing (both which simulate the precompaction phase of the construction process); and (3) long-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing to simulate the aging that occurs over the service life of a pavement. The long-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing procedures are preceded by the procedure for short-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing.
