What it is
A conditioned specimen is subjected to the specified stress while deformation is measured over time.
SANAS T1018
Public test guide
Measures time-dependent deformation of asphalt under a sustained or repeated load.
Plain-language explanation
The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.
A conditioned specimen is subjected to the specified stress while deformation is measured over time.
Prepared asphalt specimen, temperature-controlled environment, loading frame and precise deformation measurement.
Creep response and a stiffness/modulus measure under the selected temperature and loading condition.
Helps assess susceptibility to permanent deformation and compare asphalt mixtures for service conditions.
Typical test sequence
Prepare and condition the specimen
Apply the specified stress history
Record deformation with time and calculate the modulus
