There are four different methods of testing water sensitivity were evaluated. Each test method required specimens to be compacted to an air void level near that of field conditions (7 to 9 percent). Each method called for vacuum saturation of the samples with water. Three of the four test methods used freeze-thaw cycles to further condition the specimens. Measurements of indirect tensile strength were determined for conditioned and unconditioned specimens. Measurements on conditioned specimens were taken at SSD conditions and compared with the test results of the unconditioned samples. The apparatus consists of 1) Marshal stability 100 kN capacity 2) Indirect tensile strength attachment for 4" & 6" 3) Vacuum desiccator with vacuum pump 4) Deep freezer of -40°C. 5) Constant temperature water bath to cure samples at 60°C.
