Nevertheless, it must be noted that at 0 days of curing time, it was not possible to carry out the Marshall tests on samples immediately after induction heating, because first, these had to be cooled down into a climatic cabinet for 2 h at 20 ± 2°C before testing. During such cooling time at high temperature, the samples heated by induction continued losing water and, consequently, the water content before testing was lower even for samples tested at day 0. The samples not heated by induction were also cooled down into the climatic cabinet for 2 h at 20 ± 2°C before testing at day 0 to have the same curing period.
