ASTM D4867/D4867M-09 (R2014) PDF Download

The ASTM D4867/D4867M-09 (R2014) standard is a test method used for evaluating the effect of moisture on asphalt concrete paving mixtures. It can be used in conjunction with mixture design testing to assess the potential for moisture damage, determine the effectiveness of antistripping additives, and establish the appropriate dosage of additives to maximize effectiveness. This test method can also be utilized to evaluate mixtures produced in plants under field conditions.

The standard involves preparing and testing asphalt concrete specimens to measure the impact of water on the tensile strength of the paving mixture. It is specifically applicable to dense mixtures, as outlined in the Table for Composition of Bituminous Paving Mixtures in Specification D3515. The test method allows for the evaluation of moisture effects both with and without antistripping additives, including liquid and pulverulent solids like hydrated lime or portland cement.
