Description / Abstract:
This test method covers the determination of an asphalt binder's
resistance to ductile failure using a double-edge-notched tension
test.
The test is conducted after thermal conditioning to determine
the essential work of failure, the plastic work of failure, and an
approximate critical crack tip opening displacement at a specified
temperature and rate of loading.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
