Asphalt Testing System

(click here for Soils Testing)

Interlaken's computer controlled Test System meets the requirements of ASTM, AASHTO, and SHRP specifications for asphalt testing. A flexible, real time controller provides high precision control of forces, motions, and temperatures. Powerful user interface software provides real time monitoring and automatically records data for reports and further analysis.

Environmental Chamber

Interlaken's temperature control systems offer a wide temperature range of -40 °C to 150 °C to accurately perform asphalt property measurements. The chamber accommodates other fixtures in addition to the IDT Fixture and there is ample space for preconditioning of other specimens.



AASHTO and NCHRP

AASHTO TP8 Flexural fatigue of asphalt beams.

AASHTO T321 Flexural fatigue of asphalt beams.

AASHTO T322 Creep compliance test method.

AASHTO TP31 Determining resilient modulus in indirect tension.

AASHTO 62-03 Dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures.

ASTM 4123 Determining resilient modulus in indirect tension.

NCHRP 1-28A Determining resilient modulus in indirect tension.

NCHRP 9-29 Simple Performance Testing.
Dynamic Modulus, Flow Time (Static Creep) and Flow Number (Repeated Load).








Biaxial Extensometer Set

These mount on the specimen faces and measure horizontal and vertical strains. They simplify and improve the accuracy of Creep Compliance and Low Temperature Strength testing. The unique magnetic mounting method means they snap on quickly with minimum disruption to temperature control. Since the units remain assembled, calibration can be easily checked at any time. Also, they provide improved data quality in the Resilient Modulus measurements by eliminating problems due to working and local deformation.

Determine the Fatigue Life of Compacted Hot-Mix Asphalt Subjected to Repeated Flexural Bending

Interlaken has pre-programmed application software based on the AASHTO T321-03 (TP8) test standard. A third party flex fatigue fixture can be integrated with Interlaken's system to run the flexural bending beam test.
