• screw, nut, block assembly for referencing LVDT to neutral axis of<br />

specimen<br />

• jig for setting proper clamp spacing<br />

3. TEST SPECIMENS<br />

3.1 Compacted Bituminous Concrete Specimens--Specimens shall be sawn on all<br />

sides with a diamond blade from a slab or beam of bituminous mixture prepared by<br />

kneading compaction or rolling wheel compaction. Specimens shall be 381 + 6.35 mm in<br />

length, 50.8 + 6.35 mm in height and 63.5 + 6.35 mm in width.<br />

3.2 Measurement of Specimen Size--Measure the height and width of the specimen at<br />

three different points along the middle 90 mm of the specimen length. Report measurements<br />

to the nearest 0.025 ram. Average the three measurements for each dimension and report the<br />

averages to the nearest 0.25 rru_.<br />
