From page 1...
... During Phase IV, a methodology was developed to construct dynamic modulus master curves for pavement structural design using an abbreviated testing protocol. With this protocol, it is not necessary to perform dynamic modulus testing at the lowest temperature included in AASHTO TP62.

From page 2...
... The second appendix provides a method for evaluating the uniformity of air void contents within SPT test specimens. In evaluating the specimen preparation process, it was determined that an automated system for coring and sawing the specimens would be beneficial to the future implementation of the SPT.
