The objective of this paper is to evaluate uniaxial loadings in compression for selected asphalt concretes. Cylindrical specimens were subjected to sinusoidal stresses at given frequencies and temperatures. The methodology of the test is discussed and a comparison is made between non-destructive indirect tensile testing and cyclic loading. The findings show that correlations can be made between these two methods.

Keywords: Asphalt mixes, cylindrical specimens, uniaxial loading, frequency sweep.
