2、 revision,the year of last revision.A number in 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 the determination of fractureenergy(Gf)of asphalt mixtures using the disk-sha
3、ped compacttension geometry.The disk-shaped compact tension geometryis a circular specimen with a single edge notch loaded intension.The fracture energy can be utilized as a parameter todescribe the fracture resistance of asphalt mixtures.Thefracture energy parameter is particularly useful in the ev
4、alua-tion of asphalt mixtures with ductile asphalt binders,such aspolymer-modified asphalt mixture,and has been shown todiscriminate between these materials more broadly than theindirect tensile strength parameter(AASHTO T 322,Ref(1).2The test is generally valid at temperatures of 10 C and below,or
5、for material and temperature combinations which producevalid material fracture,as outlined in 7.4.1.2 The specimen geometry and terminology(disk-shapedcompact tension,DC(T)is modeled after Test Method E399for Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness of Metallic Materials,Appendix A6,with modifications to all
