The paper briefly describes the K-mould and the dynamic loading and data acquisition system that was developed for the Division of Roads and Transport Technology (Transportek) K-mould. The loading system allows for the selection of the loading curve, the maximum load to be applied, the speed of application, the interval between load repetitions and the number of load repetitions required. The data acquisition system allows for the continuous recording of data during load cycles, the selection of the number of data points per second as well as the interval (number of load cycles) between different data 'windows'. Some interesting results obtained with this system are then discussed.
