Scope
1.1. This test method determines the resistance of asphalt binders to fatigue damage by cyclic loading with a systematic, linearly increasing load amplitude. The amplitude sweep is conducted using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) at moderate pavement temperature for the asphalt binder performance grade (PG) determined in accordance with M 320. This test method can be used with binders aged with T 240 (RTFOT) and R 28 (PAV) to simulate the aging of in-service asphalt pavements. 1.2. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. 1.3. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
