Common aging tests include the Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFOT) for simulating short-term aging during mixing and laying, and the Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV) test for simulating long-term aging over the pavement’s service life. These tests assess changes in properties like viscosity and stiffness to predict performance deterioration.
