In its continuing effort to improve pavement technology, the Arizona Department of Transportation evaluated the use of the repetitive simple shear test at constant height and flexural bending beam test as part of the mix design and field quality assurance process. The results of the efforts, conducted to design and place an overlay on a test section, indicated that those tests and associated analysis procedures are feasible and implementable for routine use.
