Various methods exist to measure the mechanical properties of hot-mix asphalt (HMA). To be useful such a test not only must measure a property that controls performance but also must be repeatable. The Strategic Highway Research Program developed tests with the Superpave® shear tester that have been shown to be related to HMA performance. To date, repeatability has not been quantified. The results of a repeatability study for the measurement of shear stiffness (frequency sweep) and of permanent shear strain (repeated-load, constant-height testing) are reported.
