This paper presents two test procedures, the constant load and
haversine load, for determining the viscoelastic properties of
asphalt concrete using the indirect tension (diametral compression)
test. Equations for calculating the creep compliance and complex
compliance from test result are derived. Locations of change in
length measurements are recommended. Details of data reduction
algorithms and the pros and cons of the two procedures are discussed.
A series of laboratory tests were conducted on two groups of specimens
to illustrate the methodology and verify the analysis.
