... 13 To focus on the desired structural properties of the recycled materials, the dynamic modulus and RLPD tests were performed to investigate the stiffness and rutting susceptibility, respectively, of each test specimen. Before testing, the project team had to decide if the testing and expected properties of the recycled materials best matched those of an asphalt mixture or of a loosely bound granular material.

... Specimen Preparation and Testing Methods 17 A unique set of gluing jig arms was needed for the small-scale specimens because of their decreased diameter. The upper portion of each gluing jig arm had to be extended so that the arm could apply pressure to the LVDT stud as it was being glued to the specimen.

This analysis methodology is particularly appropriate when testing mixtures in a confined state that tend not to reach tertiary flow.
