Lightweight aggregates - Part 2: Lightweight aggregates for bituminous mixtures and surface treatments and for unbound and bound applications
This European Standard specifies the properties of lightweight aggregates and fillers derived thereof obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for bituminous mixtures and surface treatments and for unbound and hydraulically bound applications other than concrete, mortar and grout.
This European Standard covers lightweight aggregates of mineral origin having particle densities not exceeding 2000 kg/m3 (2,00 Mg/m3) or loose bulk densities not exceeding 1200 kg/m3 (1,20 Mg/m3) including:
a) natural aggregates;
b) aggregates manufactured from natural materials and/or from by-products of industrial processes;
c) by-products of industrial processes;
d) recycled aggregates.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard.
The requirements specified in this standard may not be relevant to all types of lightweight aggregates. For particular applications the requirements and tolerances can be adapted for the end use.
NOTE Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the requirements of this European Standard. As well as familiar and traditional natural and manufactured aggregates Mandate M/125 "Aggregates" included recycled aggregates and some materials from new or unfamiliar sources. Recycled aggregates are included in the standards and new test methods for them are at an advanced stage of preparation. For unfamiliar materials from secondary sources, however, the work on standardization has only started recently and more time is needed to define clearly the origins and characteristics of these materials. In the meantime such unfamiliar materials when placed on the market as aggregates should comply fully with this standard and national regulations for dangerous substances (see annex ZA) depending upon their intended use. Additional characteristics and requirements can be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defi

NOTE Les granulats utilisés dans la construction doivent respecter toutes les exigences de la présente Norme européenne. Le mandat granulats M/125 "Granulats" couvre aussi bien des granulats naturels usuels et traditionnels, ou des granulats artificiels que des granulats recyclés ou de source nouvelle ou inhabituelle. Les granulats recyclés sont inclus dans les normes et de nouvelles méthodes d'essais les concernant sont à un stade avancé de leur préparation. Pour les granulats inhabituels de source secondaire, le travail de normalisation a commencé récemment et plus de temps est nécessaire pour définir clairement les origines et les caractéristiques de ces matériaux.

Then, dry the test specimens at (110 ± 5) °C to constant mass according to EN 1097-5 and condition the test specimens at (20 ± 5) °C for (24 ± 2) h. A.6 Procedure Place the test specimen in a plastic bag and then place the opening in the bottom of the test container.
Slowly lift the plastic bag and fill the container with the test specimen. Level the surface with a ruler.
Place the load distribution steel plate on the upper surface of the test specimen and measure the height of the test specimen (l0), see Figure A.2.
Vibrate the test specimen for 3 min and measure the height of the test specimen (l1) see Figure A.2. Place the test container in the test machine and zero the gauges. Apply the load (F) continuously at a rate of increase of (0,06 ± 0,002) kN/s. Increase the load until the deformation reaches 10% of the height after vibration. Record the load (F) and the deformation (δ) continuously as the mean value of the two gauges.

Determination of resistance to freezing and thawing of lightweight aggregates B.1 Introduction The test method specified in this annex has been found to be suitable for lightweight aggregates with a particle size not less than 4 mm and a bulk density not less than 150 kg/m3 (0,15 Mg/m3). NOTE The principle of this test deviates from the test method specified in EN 1367-1. B.2 Principle A test portion of lightweight aggregates, having been soaked in water at atmospheric pressure, is subjected to 20 freeze-thaw cycles. This involves cooling down to below -15 °C in air and then thawing in a water bath at about 20 °C. After completion of the freeze-thaw cycles, the lightweight aggregates are examined for any changes such as crack formation and/or loss in mass. B.3 Apparatus B.3.1 All apparatus, unless otherwise stated, shall conform to the general requirements of
EN 932-5. B.3.2 Ventilated drying oven, with forced circulation of adequate capacity. The oven shall be capable of being maintained at (110 ± 5) °C. B.3.3 Balance, capable to weigh test specimens up to 400 g with an accuracy of ± 0,02 g and test specimens above 400 g with an accuracy of 0,05 g. B.3.4 Low temperature cabinet, (upright or chest) with air circulation. The cabinet shall be capable of being maintained at (-17,5 ± 2,5) °C. B.3.5 Containers, made from corrosion resistant material with a base area of approximate 0,02 m2 and a height of not less than 0,1 m. B.3.6 Grid, of a suitable size and aperture to prevent the lightweight aggregates floating in the container specified in B.3.5. B.3.7 Test sieves, conforming to EN 933-2 shall be used. B.3.8 Water, distilled or demineralised. B.4 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with EN 932-1.
B.5.3 Preparation of test specimens Wash the test specimens and remove adhering particles. Dry the test specimens as specified in EN 1097-5, allow to cool to ambient temperature and weigh. NOTE For some lightweight aggregates it is recommended to allow the test specimens to condition to moisture equilibrium at (23 ± 5) °C and (50 ± 10) % relative humidity. Weighing shall be carried out to the following accuracies: Test specimens up to 400 g, to ± 0,04 g. Test specimens above 400 g, to ± 0,1 g. B.6 Procedure B.6.1 Soaking Store the test specimens at atmospheric pressure for (4 ± 0,2) h in the containers specified in B.3.5 at (20 ± 3) °C in distilled or demineralised water, ensuring that the water covers the test specimens by at least 10 mm for the full 4 h period of soaking.
In order to prevent the test specimens floating, the specimens are kept submerged by the grids specified in B.3.6. B.6.2 Exposure to freezing and thawing Remove the test specimens from the containers and allow them to drain on a sieve for about 1 min. Then place them back into the containers spreading them out evenly.
