Evaluation of Laboratory Durability Tests for Stabilized Aggregate Base Materials
… for durability using the freeze-thaw test, the vacuum saturation test, and the tube suction test. Analyses of the test results indicated that the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and retained UCS were higher for specimens tested in freeze-thaw cycling than the corresponding values …

Evaluation of Laboratory Durability Tests for Stabilized Subgrade Soils
… comparative study were the freeze-thaw test, the vacuum saturation test, and the tube suction test. On average, to achieve the same 7-day unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values, the sand required 4.4 times more Class C fly ash than cement, 3.6 times more lime-fly ash than cement, and 6.0 …

CHARACTERIZATION OF CRUSHED PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE RUBBLE AGGREGATE FOR URBAN ROADS
… using the rapid triaxial test; then vacuum saturated and then characterized again using the rapid triaxial test. The mechanistic properties measured for the PCC material showed better climatic durability compared to those measured for the virgin aggregates, particularly after climatic …

Moisture transport and fixation in porous materials at high moisture levels
… specimens before testing, namely capillary and vacuum saturation. It also examines the effect of different beddings between the specimen and the ceramic plate. Sorption properties, i.e. information about how much water a porous material holds in different environments, are of interest in many …

The Moisture Transport Properties of Cement Mortar under Salt Spray Deposition
… of cement mortar under salt spray deposition. Vacuum saturation tests and capillary absorption tests were performed on specimens subjected to 0–35 salt spray cycles using modified methodologies. Salt spray deposits in the specimens were observed to increase apparent density while decreasing …

PERMEABILITY AND MOISTURE DAMAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS
… T 283 method, a sample is wet conditioned using vacuum saturation and then subjected to one cycle of freeze-thaw. A set of three wet and three dry conditioned samples are tested for indirect tensile strength and Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of wet to dry sample sets is determined. It is shown …
