Abstract
During the Strategic Highway Research Program two new tests were developed to characterize mix performance. The Arizona Department of Transportation in its continuing effort to improve pavement technology evaluated the use of the repetitive simple shear test at constant height and flexural bending beam test as part of the mix design and field quality assurance process. The results of the efforts, conducted to design and place an overlay on a test section, indicated that the use of those tests and associated analysis procedures is feasible and implementable for routine use.
