1、Designation:D580112Standard Test Method forToughness and Tenacity of Bituminous Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5801;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in
2、 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 describes the procedure for measuringthe toughness and tenacity of bituminous materials.Typically,the test method has been used to
3、characterize elastomermodified asphalts,although values for toughness and tenacitymay be obtained for any type of polymer-modified or non-modified asphalt.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units t
