• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the findings of Project 3-9-72-183, "Tensile Characterization of Highway Pavement Materials," and describes a series of research activities related to indirect tensile testing, tensile and repeated-load properties of in-service materials, engineering properties of asphalt mixtures, and design of asphalt mixtures. The report contains a summary of activities related to the development, application, and use of the indirect tensile test to obtain engineering properties related to pavement distress. A detailed test procedure is contained in Research Report 183-14 and an ASTM test procedure was developed to determine the resilient modulus of asphalt mixtures. Information related to the engineering properties of pavement materials from in-service pavements in Texas is also summarized. This includes mean values and the variation which actually occurs which are intended for use in elastic and stochastic pavement design systems. Finally, information related to the engineering properties of asphalt mixtures, and the design of asphalt mixtures is provided.
