Shear-Box Compaction Method

Combines controlled contact pressure with cyclic shear motion to prepare prismatic asphalt specimens for ASTM D7981 workflows.

Servo-Controlled Shearing

Servo-controlled horizontal motion provides repeatable shear frequency and angle control during specimen compaction.

Continuous Angle Modulation

Supports configured shear angles up to 4° to match the selected laboratory specimen-preparation procedure.

Prismatic Specimen Format

Prepares 450 x 150 mm slabs with a configurable 120–185 mm height for subsequent cutting or performance-test preparation.

Automated Demolding

An integrated extraction system assists specimen removal after the programmed compaction sequence.

PC-Based Process Monitoring

The PC interface supports method setup and monitoring of available pressure, motion, and specimen-height channels.

Testing Method

Shear-box compaction for prismatic asphalt specimens

LS-SC100 prepares 450 x 150 mm prismatic asphalt specimens by applying controlled contact pressure and cyclic shear motion. The system supports up to 4° shear angle, 3.7 cycles/min shear frequency, contact pressure up to 2 MPa, and PC-based control for ASTM D7981 specimen-preparation workflows.

Controlled shear-box action

Contact pressure and cyclic shear motion are controlled around the selected ASTM D7981 specimen-preparation workflow without relying on impact compaction.

Prismatic specimen preparation

The 450 x 150 mm mould format prepares slabs with a configurable 120–185 mm height for subsequent laboratory specimen processing.

Technical FAQ

What is LS-SC100 Asphalt Shear Box Compactor used for?
