- The Superpave volumetric procedure has been widely implemented, with success- ful results. However, the method lacks a strength test to verify the suitability of the Superpave mixes. Research completed in NCHRP Project 9-19 developed "simple performance tests" for asphalt concrete (Witczak et al., 2002), currently called the Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester, AMPT, Figure 9.34. The AMPT is not currently a requirement for Superpave mix design, but implementation studies are underway. In addition, the test method was designed to capture the material properties needed for the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design System, MEPDS. The equipment and associated protocols of the AMPT tests are designed to cap- ture the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete. Tests based on measurement of dynamic modulus (for both of permanent deformation and fatigue cracking), flow time (permanent deformation), and flow number (permanent deformation) were selected for further field validation. The three…(6) Two AC-20 asphalt concrete core samples are taken from an existing flexible pavement. Each sample has a diameter of 4 inches and a thickness of 2.5 inches. (a) If the first sample, tested in the indirect tensile apparatus, failed under a maximum load of 2,500 lbs, calculate the tensile strength of the AC-20 asphalt concrete mixture. (b) Under a dynamic load of 50 lbs, applied on the second specimen in the transducer arrangement for the diametral modulus test, a horizontal recoverable deformation of 0.076*10 inches is measured at 70° F. What is the resilient modulus of the asphalt concrete (AC) layer in the field (use the equation on page 283)?Problem No. 1A flexible pavement for an urban interstate highway is to be designed using the AASHTO method to carry a design ESAL of 3 x 106.

The following additional information is available: Elastic modulus of asphalt concrete = 450,000 psiResilient modulus of base material = 35,000 psiResilient modulus of subbase material = 15,000 psiCBR of subgrade material = 8
