Perform blending calculations to achieve the mix design aggregate gradation.If the aggregate is acceptable according to step #1, additional tests are run to fully characterize the aggregate. Determine other aggregate descriptive physical properties.This consists of running various tests to determine properties such as: Determine aggregate physical properties.A typical aggregate evaluation for use with either the Hveem or Marshall mix design methods includes three basic steps (Roberts et al., 1996 ): Optimum asphalt binder content selectionĪlthough Hveem did not specifically develop an aggregate evaluation and selection procedure, one is included here because it is integral to any mix design.Stability determination using the Hveem Stabilometer.Sample preparation (including compaction).The Marshall mix design method consists of 6 basic steps: military all over the world during and after WWII and (2) it is simple, compact and inexpensive. It has probably become so widely used because (1) it was adopted and used by the U.S. Today the Marshall method, despite its shortcomings, is probably the most widely used mix design method in the world. WES continued to refine the Marshall method through the 1950s with various tests on materials, traffic loading and weather variables. It produced densities reasonably close to field densities.It facilitated rapid testing with minimal effort.It was designed to stress the entire sample rather than just a portion of it.This appended test was eventually recommended for adoption by the U.S. WES took the original Marshall Stability Test and added a deformation measurement (using a flow meter) that was reasoned to assist in detecting excessively high asphalt contents. Marshall at the Mississippi Highway Department in 1939. The most promising method eventually proved to be the Marshall Stability Method developed by Bruce G. “…a simple apparatus suitable for use with the present California Bearing Ratio (CBR) equipment to design and control asphalt paving mixtures…” Army Waterways Experiment Station (WES) in 1943 had the objective of developing: Motivation for this search came from the ever-increasing wheel loads and tire pressures produced by larger and larger military aircraft. Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) began evaluating various HMA mix design methods for use in airfield pavement design.

I actually like using the clean channel sometimes for a moderate crunch sound, which it certainly can do with the gain turned up. The clean channel can break up pretty nicely. There are definitely some good tones in this amp. I just thought "It's a Marshall half stack, it must sound great." After a while I began to dislike it quite a bit, but this past year or so I've really come around to it. When I first got the amp, I was pretty ignorant about what good tone was. But then again, we all do that no matter how crappy or outstanding our gear is. I have owned it for 5-6 years and have always gone back and forth about how I feel about it. The AVT50H through the matching AVT412A cab is currently what I play through.

It's nice to see a post about the AVT50 without a million replies about how bad they suck.
