Standard Practice for Preparation of Compacted Slab Asphalt Mix Samples Using a Segmented Rolling Compactor
Also Known As:
ASTM D8079-16 is a standard practice that provides guidelines for the preparation of compacted slab asphalt mix samples using a segmented rolling compactor. This practice allows for the fabrication of slabs of asphalt mix using an automated laboratory rolling compactor. The compacted specimens can then be used for various testing purposes, such as determining bulk specific gravity, fatigue performance characteristics, and Hamburg wheel-track testing.
It is important to note that this standard practice should not be used for acceptance or rejection of a material or for purchasing purposes. The quality of the results obtained using this practice is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the calibration and maintenance of the equipment used. Therefore, it is recommended that agencies follow the guidelines provided in Specification D3666 or a similar acceptable guideline to ensure reliable results.
The standard also includes references to explanatory notes and footnotes. These notes and footnotes, excluding those in tables and figures, are not considered as requirements of the standard.
