... It also describes how to fit the dynamic modulus master curve to the measured data and to compute input data for Level 1 analysis in the MEPDG. 5.2 Simple Performance Test Systems The Simple Performance Test System Specification was modified to specify a device capable of performing the three simple performance tests and developing dynamic modulus master curves using the abbreviated testing protocol.

... It also would minimize the potential for errors in the coring and sawing operations that result in specimen rejection due to noncompliance with the SPT specimen dimensional tolerances. A prototype automated coring and sawing system, called FlexPrep™, was developed by Shedworks, Inc.
