BASIC OVERVIEW
The machine is a versatile, fully automated, dual axis, closed-loop hydraulic testing system specifically designed to perform tests on asphalt concrete mixtures over a wide range of stress and frequencies. The equipment flexibility to perform a variety of special tests and standard SHRP test. The design ensures the easiest possible interface with the operating technician. The system software features test templates, which will automatically perform the following SHRP tests:

  • Repetitive simple shear

  • Frequency sweep test at constant height

  • Simple shear test at constant height

  • Repeated shear test at constant stress ratio

The testing system performs the test with a minimum of user input and knowledge. The system includes software to perform the following tests that may be required for various future research projects:

  • Dynamic (sine, square triangular wave)

  • Creep

  • Repetitive loading (haversine)

  • Constant rate (ramp)

  • Fatigue

Features
  • Compact size
  • Extremely quiet hydraulic power supply is enclosed in an acoustically dampened outer cabinet for additional noise reduction.
  • Durable ll. Gauge (.125 in.) thick 304 stainless console top.
  • Low friction linear bearings
  • Force feed bearing lubrication
  • Totally integrated load frame, hydraulic power supply and control system
  • The hydraulic hoses, transducer wiring, hydraulic system and heating system fall within the confines of the cabinet for easy installation and service, noise reduction and neat appearance.
The testing system includes the following major components:
