    This document provides the standard test procedure for determining the retained Marshall stability of asphalt mixes after curing specimens in a water bath at 60°C for 24 hours. Six Marshall compaction specimens are prepared at the optimum asphalt content and design gradation. Two sets of three specimens are selected, with equivalent density and air void properties. One set is cured in the water bath while the other is kept at room temperature. The Marshall stability is then measured for each set and the retained stability is calculated as the soaked stability divided by the standard stability, multiplied by 100.

    Section:
    Subject:

    ASPHALT MIXES
    RETAINED MARSHALL STABILITY

    SCOPE
    The method described determines the retained Marshall stability on Marshall compaction
    specimens after curing for 24 hours in a water bath at 60o C.

    2.

    APPARATUS AND MATERIALS


    2.1.

    Equipment Required
    A water bath capable of maintaining a temperature at 60o C.

    2.2.

    Materials Required
    Six Marshall compaction specimens prepared in accordance with STP 204-8,
    PREPARATION OF MARSHALL COMPACTION SPECIMENS. The specimens shall
    be at the optimum asphalt content and design gradation.

    3.

    PROCEDURE
    3.1.

    Test Procedure
    Determine density and air voids on each mold using STP 204-21, DENSITY AND VOID
    CHARACTERISTICS. Then select two sets of three molds, each having average
    equivalent properties.
    Set three molds aside at room temperature and put three molds in a water bath at 60o C
    for 24 hours.
    Run normal stability tests on each mold using STP 204-11, MARSHALL STABILITY
    AND FLOW, and average the results for each set. The three Standard Stability
    Specimens shall be conditioned as outlined in STP 204-11 at the end of a 24 hour waiting
    period.
