iRLPD Rutting (AASHTO TP 116)
(incremental Repeated Load Permanent Deformation)
- Test can be performed on field cores or volumetrics
- Takes only 33 min. to create MSR master curve, which determines resistance of a mixture to rutting at any temperature and under any stress
- Determines allowable traffic
