THE ANALYTIC MECHANICAL TESTING OF BITUMINOUS MIXES

STABILITY FACTORS DUE TO AGGREGATES WHICH WERE CONSIDERED WERE INTERNAL FRICTION, STRUCTURAL RESISTANCE AND COHESION. AS TO STABILITY FACTORS DUE TO ASPHALT, COHESION WAS CONSIDERED. MATHEMATICAL DATA ARE PRESENTED AS WELL AS SHOWING THAT MECHANICAL TESTING METHODS SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON AN ANALYTIC BASIS.
