As discussed in No. 13, new tests are available for evaluating fundamental engineering properties. Permeability is a property that is very important to MatCon, but not normally used for pavements. Dynamic or resilient modulus is used in the design and also as a means to measure and monitor structural integrity with time. Water sensitivity (stripping and/or softening) is important to MatCon but is not always used for pavement evaluation. Chemical resistance may become a standard test for liners/caps, but would not be used for pavements.
