This method covers the sample preparation and polishing of asphalt mixtures for dynamic friction testing using a three-wheel polishing device (TWPD). This standard is to be used with compacted asphalt mixture slab specimens. Other specimen preparation procedures would be needed for assembling a...
This specification covers nonreinforced concrete pipe intended to be used for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, storm water, and for the construction of culverts. This specification is applicable for orders in either SI units (M 86M) or in inch-pound units (M 86). SI units and inch-pound...
This test method covers the procedure for quantitative determination of the formation potential of calcium oxychloride amounts formed in cement pastes exposed to chloride-based deicing salts, particularly calcium and magnesium chloride. The amount of calcium oxychloride that forms is an indicator...
This standard practice covers the annual calibration of the load cell and the deflection sensors and monthly relative calibration of the deflection sensors of a falling weight deflectometer (FWD) or a heavy weight deflectometer (HWD). It is used to establish calibration factors for correcting FWD...
This test method covers the determination of the dynamic shear modulus and phase angle of asphalt binder when tested in dynamic (oscillatory) shear using parallel plate test geometry. It is applicable to asphalt binders having dynamic shear modulus values in the range from 100 Pa to 10 MPa. This...
This specification covers Type I and Type II high-strength steel bars intended for use in prestressed concrete construction or in prestressed ground anchors. Bars are of a minimum ultimate tensile strength level of 1035 MPa [150,000 psi]. Two types of bars are provided: Type I bar has a plain...
This specification covers reinforced arch-shaped concrete pipe to be used for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, storm water, and for the construction of culverts. This specification is applicable for orders in either SI units (M 206M) or in inch-pound units (M 206). SI units and...
INTRODUCTION TO THE MATERIALS STANDARDS PDF COMPILATION ● 40TH EDITION, RELEASE 1 (APRIL 2020) Overall Organization, Release Schedule, and Subject Areas The Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, and Provisional Standards are updated annually in...
These test methods cover the chemical analyses of hydraulic cements. Any test methods of demonstrated acceptable precision and bias may be used for analysis of hydraulic cements, including analyses for referee and certification purposes, as explained in Section 4. Specific chemical test methods are...
This standard describes a test method for measuring the resistance of asphalt mixtures to rutting and fatigue cracking using minimum strain rates (m*) from an incremental repeated load permanent deformation (iRLPD) test conducted by means of a dynamic testing system (DTS). This practice is intended...
This test method covers the determination of the fracture energy (Gf) of asphalt mixtures by means of the semicircular bend geometry (SCB). The method also includes procedures for calculating fracture toughness (KIC) and stiffness (S). The SCB specimen is a half disc with a notch (its length...
This specification covers 15 grades of emulsified asphalt for use in pavement construction in the manner designated. Note 1-See M 208 for specifications covering cationic emulsified asphalt and M 316 for specifications covering polymer-modified emulsified asphalt. The values stated in SI units are...
This standard practice for mix design evaluation uses mixture properties to determine the proportions of emulsified asphalt, mineral aggregate, water, mineral filler, and additives to produce a slurry seal job-mix formula.
These test methods determine the time of setting of hydraulic cement by means of the Vicat needle. Two test methods are given: Method A is the Reference Test Method using the manually operated standard Vicat apparatus, while Method B permits the use of an automatic Vicat machine that has, in...
Scope and Organization This guide is organized around the basic asset management framework illustrated in Figure 1.2. This framework is tailored for use by U.S. transportation agencies and incorporates critical areas deemed important to the daily application and advancement of TAM practice.
This specification covers the requirements and methods of tests for steel-reinforced polyethylene (SRPE) corrugated pipe, couplings, and fittings for use in surface and subsurface drainage applications. Nominal sizes of 300 to 1800 mm (12 to 72 in.) are included. Materials, workmanship, dimensions,...
This specification covers reinforced concrete pipe designed for specific D-loads and intended to be used for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, and storm water, and for the construction of culverts.
