| 摘要： | Reliable materials characterization and performance prediction testing of asphalt concrete requires specimens that can be treated as statistically homogeneous and representative of the material being tested. The objective of this study was to select a proper specimen geometry that could be used for uniaxial tensile testing. Selection was based on the variation of air void content along the height of specimens cut and cored from specimens compacted by the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) and on the representative behavior under mechanical testing. From measurement and comparison of air void contents in cut and cored specimens, it was observed for several geometries that sections at the top and bottom and those adjacent to the mold walls have a higher air void content than do those in the middle. It is thus imperative that test specimens be cut and cored from larger-size SGC specimens. Complex modulus and constant crosshead-rate monotonic tests were conducted for four geometries - 75 x 115, 75 x 150, 100 x 150, and 100 x 200 mm - to study the effect of geometry boundary conditions on responses. On the basis of graphical and statistical analysis, it was determined that there was an effect on the dynamic modulus at certain frequencies but no effect on the phase angle. Except for 75 x 115 mm, all geometries behaved similarly under the monotonic test. From these findings and other considerations, it is recommended that the 75 x 150 mm geometry be used for tensile testing. |
