What it is
A conditioned cylindrical specimen is loaded diametrically in a Marshall testing head until maximum load.
SANAS T1018
Public test guide
Measures the load resistance and deformation of a compacted asphalt specimen at a controlled temperature.
Plain-language explanation
The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.
A conditioned cylindrical specimen is loaded diametrically in a Marshall testing head until maximum load.
Compacted asphalt specimen, temperature bath, Marshall loading frame, stability and flow measurement.
Maximum stability load and the corresponding flow or deformation.
Supports asphalt mix design, production control and comparison with project requirements.
Typical test sequence
Prepare and condition the compacted specimen
Place it in the Marshall loading head
Load at the specified rate and record stability and flow
