The first objective of the report was to provide details on various tests performed on core specimens under a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) research study entitled 'Performance Evaluation of Sulfur-Extended Asphalt Pavements - Laboratory Evaluation.' The study is documented in report FHWA-RD-90-110. Under the study, fifteen cores were obtained from various sulfur-extended asphalt (SEA) pavement sections and asphalt control (AC) sections and tested for properties in the laboratory. The report presents the experience with each particular test apparatus used in the SEA study. The diametral (resilient) modulus test and the diametral incremental creep test were extensively evaluated. The susceptibility to damage by moisture was evaluated in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Method D 4867. These tests have also been used under various other FHWA studies. The second objective was to correlate various test properties to each other and determine the relationships between them. Most relationships were poor or could only be considered general trends. Each test measures a unique property. Properties from sophisticated tests could not be predicted from less complex tests.
