Making, curing and strength testing of concrete test specimens
5863 & 5861-3
Course Summary
The SANS 3001-AS10 test method is an essential procedure in civil engineering for determining the bulk density and void content of compacted asphalt, crucial for assessing the quality and compliance of asphalt mix designs. The method involves detailed preparation of different types of asphalt specimens, followed by a procedural approach that emphasizes accuracy, equipment verification, and data recording. The calculation segment of the test is particularly vital, involving precise measurements and understanding the impact of temperature on material properties. This method plays a significant role in ensuring that asphalt layers meet design standards and function effectively in construction environments.
