... 1.2 Scope and Research Approach 1.2.1 Simple Performance Test System Phase IV included two major tasks aimed at continued development of the SPT. The first of these was the development of an abbreviated testing protocol for developing dynamic modulus master curves for use in routine mixture evaluation and flexible pavement design.

From page 4...
... In the second task to continue the development of the SPT, the equipment specification was revised to produce a device capable of performing dynamic modulus master curves using the abbreviated protocol. This equipment also maintains the capability to perform the flow number and flow time testing.
