Adjust the stabilometer base so that the distance from the bottom of the upper tapered ring (Figure 1) to the top of the base is 89 mm (3.5 in.). 5.2. Adjust the amount of air in the air cell so that
23、when the liquid pressure is increased from 34.5 to 689 kPa (5 to 100 psi) by turning the pump handle at the approximate rate of two turns per second, the turns indicator will indicate 2.00 0.05 turns with the metal calibration cylinder in the stabilometer chamber. 5.3. With the stabilometer and stag
24、e base in position on the platen, adjust the testing machine so that the load will be applied at the rate of 1.3 mm (0.05 in.)/min. 6. PROCEDURE 6.1. Bring the specimen to a temperature of 60 3C (140 5F). Note 2Bring the specimen to room temperature in the case where it is desired to test with whate
25、ver moisture may be present in the mixture. 6.2. Transfer the compacted specimen from the mold to the stabilometer by means of the push-out device described in Section 2.3. Make sure that the specimen goes into the stabilometer straight, with the tamped end up, and that it is firmly seated level on
26、the base. Place the 140-mm (51/2-in.) follower on top of the specimen and turn the displacement pump until a horizontal pressure of exactly 34.5 kPa (5 psi) is recorded on the stabilometer gauge. If the testing machine has a spherically seated type of upper head, the locking shims used during the fa
27、brication of the test specimen must be removed prior to performing the stabilometer test. Start the vertical movement of the press (speed of 1.3 mm (0.05 in.)/min) and record the stabilometer gauge readings when the vertical load is 2.23, 4.45, 8.90, 13.4, 17.8, 22.3, and 26.7 kN (500, 1000, 2000, 3
28、000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 lbf). Stop the vertical movement of the press when the total load reaches 26.7 kN (6000 lbf). Immediately reduce the vertical load to 4.45 kN (1000 lbf) and then adjust the horizontal pressure to 34.5 kPa (5 psi). This will result in a further reduction of the vertical load
29、 in less than 4.45 kN (1000 lbf). This is normal and no compensation need be made. Measure the number of turns of the pump handle required to raise the horizontal pressure from 34.5 to 689 kPa (5 to 100 psi) with the specimen in place. Turn the pump handle at approximately two turns per second when
30、applying this pressure. The number of turns measured is the displacement reading, D. In measuring the displacement, the vertical load will increase and at times exceed 4.45 kN (1000 lbf). As before, these changes in load are characteristic and no adjustment or compensation is required. 7. CALCULATIO

Preparation of SpecimenThe test specimen will normally be the compacted specimen used after completion of the stabilometer test. If the sample is taken from a
37、compressed pavement slab by means other than coring, it should be cut to size with a suitable saw. 10.2. Size of SpecimensThe cohesiometer is designed to test specimens up to 127 mm (5 in.) in width and from 25 mm (1 in.) to 76 mm (3 in.) high. 11. PROCEDURE 11.1. Place the specimen to be tested in
38、the oven and allow to stand until the temperature is 60 1C (140 2F) throughout (this normally will require a minimum of 2 h). 11.2. Preheat the cohesiometer to 60 1C (140 2F). Clamp the test specimen firmly in the cohesiometer, being certain that it is well centered with the top plates parallel with
39、 the surface of the specimen. Tighten the clamp nuts until snug using the fingers only. Delay starting the test until the temperature within the cohesiometer cabinet returns to 60 1C (140 2F). Allow the shot to flow into the receiver at the end of the lever arm at a rate of flow of 1800 20 g/min. St
40、op the flow of shot when the specimen breaks or when the lever arm deflects 13 mm (1/2in.) from the horizontal, if that occurs before the specimen breaks. Determine and record the mass of shot to the nearest gram. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rig
