This manual deals with highway material testing procedures, placing an emphasis on the interpretation of results and relating these to practical applications. This manual, besides serving as a basic textbook on highway material testing methods for students at the degree and diploma levels, would be of practical value for field engineers and testing laboratories. The salient features of this manual include detailed testing procedures following the latest codes and guidelines. Material testing is presented in an easy-to-follow manner. It is broadly divided into seven modules dealing with soils, aggregates, bitumen, granular and bituminous mix design, quality control, and pavement evaluation. Other essential features of this manual include typical results obtained from laboratory and field tests during professional interaction with professionals at work; ready to use observation sheets for instant interpretation of test results and justification; review questions at the end of each testing procedure for better comprehension; a power point presentation for all tests and answers to review questions is also provided.
