An asphalt concrete cylindrical specimen with a 4-inch diameter and a 6-inch height is subjected to an axial compressive static load of 150 lb for 1 hour after which the load is removed. The test was performed at a temperature of 100°F. The height of the specimen was measured at different time intervals during loading and unloading for a total of 2 hours and produced the following results:

Time, minutes	Specimen Height, inches	Time, minutes	Specimen Height, inches
0	6.0000	60.01	5.9772
0.01	5.9916	62	5.9807
2	5.9870	65	5.9841
5	5.9833	70	5.9879
10	5.9796	80	5.9926
20	5.9753	90	5.9942
30	5.9725	100	5.9954
40	5.9708	110	5.9959
50	5.9696	120	5.9964
60	5.9688
