The IDT measures the creep compliance and strength of asphalt mixtures using indirect tensile loading techniques at intermediate to low temperatures (&lt;20° C). It analyzes mixtures for low temperature cracking. In this test, a compressive load is applied across the diametrical axis of a cylindrical specimen.</p><p><strong>Accuracy and Precision</strong></p><p>Standard tests are used.</p><p><strong>Adequacy of Coverage</strong></p><p>Standard tests are used.</p><p><strong>Implementation Requirements </strong></p><p>Implementation requirements are not excessive.</p></p>
