QCLab asphalt testing equipment meets ASTM and AASHTO test standards for Marshall and Superpave mix design, binder, and pavement quality. Asphaltic concrete, or just asphalt, is the most widely used construction material for paving roadways. Demands on roadways from increased traffic volumes and axle loads are high and steadily increasing. Modern asphalt pavements must resist rutting, thermal variations, high load cycles, hydraulic pressures from water, and more. Air void content, density, shear strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance tests confirm paving materials are up to the task.
