Abstract
A background on RILEM interlaboratory testing is presented with some comments regarding general development and objectives for advanced testing, providing also a general overview on requirements and needs. It is emphasized that development of today is driven by the evaluation of performance based material behavior, moving more and more from semi-empirical to fundamental test methods. Given this background, an updated version of the RILEM methodology for testing of bituminous pavement materials is presented with a short discussion of basic elements. This framework is the basis for this report on the achievements of RILEM technical committee TC 206-ATB on “Advanced Testing and Characterization of Bituminous Materials”. Furthermore, main principles and key elements for planning of interlaboratory tests are summarized containing points that proved also relevant for the interlaboratory tests presented and discussed in the following chapters of this book. This summary is intended as general checklist and practical tool for initiating and conducting future interlaboratory tests.
