Asphalt Mix
Surface Properties
80-B0187/A
This section refers to a range of testing machines that evaluate the in-situ surface properties of pavements, including the measurement of irregularities and rutting in road pavement, the deflection of flexible pavements under the axion of moving wheel loads, and the surface macro-texture depth by using the sand patch apparatus.
Bearing Plate Test Apparatus, NF and Benkelman Beam
To determine the bearing capacity and deflection of subgrade and subbase of roads.
Benkelman Beam Apparatus
The apparatus is used to measure the deflection of pavements under a moving wheel load.
MOT Straightedge
Used to measure irregularities in road pavement.
Rate of Spread Apparatus
For determining the rate of spread of binder on the surface of the road.
Sand Patch Apparatus
To measure the macro-texture of an asphalt pavement.
Van Asbeck Apparatus for Flexibility Test on Hydraulic Bituminous Mixes
To test and assess the flexibility property and impermeability of asphalt mixes in dams.
