Superpave Shear Tester as a Simple Standardized Measure to Evaluate Aggregate-Asphalt Mixture Performance

摘要

The present work provides a standardized method by which various mixtures can be compared and their expected per- formance can be assessed in a uniform manner using the Superpave shear tester. Based on the present findings, it is evident that com- plete mixture evaluation can be done through the frequency sweep at constant height (FSCH) data from the Superpave shear tester (SST), without he need to generate the repeated shear at constant height (RSCH) data. This would reduce the experimental time with- out compromising the information obtained.
