... 16 mixture property ratios, the correlation between field aging and laboratory LTOA protocols could be made. To sum up, the mixture and binder results obtained in the Phase II experiment for cores versus LMLC specimens with STOA plus LTOA protocols were used to evaluate the effect of field and laboratory aging on mixture properties and to develop a correlation between field aging and laboratory LTOA protocols.

... 18 As illustrated in Figure 2-6, the fitted HWTT rut depth curve was composed of one part with negative curvature used to evaluate mixture resistance to rutting due to deformation, followed by a second part with positive curvature used to evaluate mixture resistance to stripping. The critical point where the curvature changed from negative to positive was defined as the stripping number (SN)
