1、Designation:D692715Standard Test Method forMarshall Stability and Flow of Asphalt Mixtures1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6927;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number i
2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers measurement of resistance toplastic flow of 4 in.(102 mm)cylindrical specimens of asphaltpaving mixture loaded in a directi
3、on perpendicular to thecylindrical axis by means of the Marshall apparatus.This testmethod is for use with dense graded asphalt mixtures preparedwith asphalt cement(modified and unmodified),cutbackasphalt,tar,and tar-rubber with maximum size aggregate up to1 in.(25 mm)in size(passing 1 in.(25 mm)sie
4、ve).1.2 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard.The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if an
