Resilient modulus can be used in the evaluation of materials quality and as input for pavement design, evaluation and analysis. With this method, the effects of temperature and load on resilient modulus can also be investigated.
Note 18212;The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D 3666
1.1 This test method covers procedures for preparing and testing laboratory-fabricated or field-recovered cores of bituminous mixtures to determine resilient modulus values using a repeated-load indirect tension test.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are regarded as the standard. Values in parentheses are for informational use.
1.3 A precision and bias statement for this standard has not been developed at this time. Therefore, this standard should not be used for acceptance or rejection of a material for purchasing purposes.
1.4 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.
