Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part 26: Stiffness

This European Standard specifies the methods for characterising the stiffness of bituminous mixtures by alternative tests, including bending tests and direct and indirect tensile tests. The tests are performed on compacted bituminous material under a sinusoidal loading or other controlled loading, using different types of specimens and supports.
The procedure is used to rank bituminous mixtures on the basis of stiffness, as a guide to relative performance in the pavement, to obtain data for estimating the structural behaviour in the road and to judge test data according to specifications for bituminous mixtures.
As this standard does not impose a particular type of testing device the precise choice of the test conditions depends on the possibilities and the working range of the used device.
For the choice of specific test conditions, the requirements of the product standards for bituminous mixtures should be respected.
The applicability of this document is described in the product standards for bituminous mixtures.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren für Heißasphalt - Teil 26: Steifigkeit

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Verfahren zur Charakterisierung der Steifigkeit von Asphalt durch verschie-dene Prüfungen, einschließlich Biegeprüfungen und Prüfungen der direkten sowie der indirekten Zugfestigkeit fest. Die Prüfungen werden an verdichtetem Asphalt unter sinusförmiger oder einer anderen kontrollierten Belastung unter Verwendung verschiedener Probekörpertypen und Auflagerungen vorgenommen.
Das Verfahren dient zur Einstufung von Asphalt auf der Grundlage seiner Steifigkeit als Hinweis auf sein rela-tives Leistungsvermögen in der Fahrbahnbefestigung, um Daten zur Abschätzung des Tragverhaltens in der Straße zu erhalten und um die Prüfdaten nach den für Asphalt geltenden Festlegungen zu beurteilen.
Da diese Norm keinen bestimmten Prüfgerätetyp vorschreibt, hängt die genaue Auswahl der Prüfbedingungen von den Möglichkeiten und dem Arbeitsbereich des im betreffenden Fall verwendeten Prüfgeräts ab.
Bei der Auswahl der jeweiligen Prüfbedingungen sollten die Anforderungen der Produktnormen für Asphalt berücksichtigt werden.
Die Anwendbarkeit dieses Dokumentes ist in den Produktnormen für Asphalt beschrieben.

Mélanges bitumineux - Méthodes d'essai pour mélange hydrocarboné à chaud - Partie 26: Module de rigidité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes de caractérisation de la rigidité des mélanges
hydrocarbonés à l'aide d'essais au choix, comprenant des essais de flexion et des essais de traction directe et
indirecte. Les essais sont réalisés sur un matériau bitumineux compacté soumis à une charge sinusoïdale ou
à d'autres charges contrôlées, utilisant différents types d'éprouvettes et de supports.
La procédure est utilisée pour classer les mélanges hydrocarbonés en fonction de leur module de rigidité,
pour servir de guide pour les performances relatives dans les chaussées, pour disposer de données utilisées
pour estimer le comportement structurel des chaussées et juger les résultats d'essais en fonction des
spécifications concernant les mélanges hydrocarbonés.
La présente norme n'imposant pas de type particulier d'appareillage d'essai, le choix spécifique des
conditions d'essai dépend des capacités et du domaine d’emploi de l'appareillage utilisé.
Pour le choix des conditions d'essai spécifiques, il convient de respecter les exigences des normes produit
sur les mélanges hydrocarbonés.
L'applicabilité du présent document est décrite dans les normes produit sur les mélanges hydrocarbonés.

Bitumenske zmesi - Preskusne metode za vroče asfaltne zmesi - 26. del: Togost

Ta evropski standard določa metode za karakterizacijo togosti bitumenskih zmesi z alternativnimi preskusi, skupaj s preskusi upogiba in preskusi direktne ter indirektne nateznosti. Preskusi se izvajajo na zgoščenem bitumenskem materialu pod sinusnim obremenjevanjem ali pod nadzorovanim obremenjevanjem z različnimi vrstami preskušancev in podpor. Postopek se uporablja za razvrščanje bitumenskih zmesi na podlagi togosti kot smernica v zvezi z relativnimi lastnostmi v voziščni konstrukciji za pridobivanje podatkov z namenom vrednotenja strukturnega obnašanja na cesti ter za ocenjevanje preskusnih podatkov glede na specifikacije bitumenskih zmesi. Ker ta standard ne predpisuje posebne preskusne naprave, je natančna izbira preskusnih pogojev odvisna od možnosti in delovnega obsega uporabljene naprave. Pri izbiri specifičnih preskusnih pogojev je treba upoštevati standarde za izdelke za bitumenske zmesi. Uporabnost tega dokumenta je opisana v standardih za izdelke za bitumenske zmesi.

Two point bending test on trapezoidal specimens (2PB-TR) or on prismatic specimens (2PB-PR) A.1 Principle This annex describes a method for measuring the stiffness modulus of bituminous mixtures using cantilever bending test. A sinusoidal force, F = F0 × sin(ω × t), or a sinusoidal deflection, z = z0 × sin(ω × t), is applied to the head of a specimens glued at its base to a stand fixed to a rigid chassis. Force, F0, or deflection, z0, should be such that it causes a strain ε ≤ 50 × 10–6 in the most heavily stressed part of the specimen, which is supposed to correspond with the linear range of the bituminous mixture. On the basis of, F0, z0 and phase angle, Φ, the complex modulus is calculated at different temperatures and frequencies. A.2 Equipment A.2.1 Test machine enabling the application of sinusoidal dynamic deflection at the top of the specimen at least within the range of frequencies from 3 Hz to 30 Hz. The embedment of specimen stands in the rigid chassis shall be such that, for a given deflection, for a metal specimen, the strain, ε, measured on the test machine shall not be more than 5 % lower than the strain, ε, measured on a L-shaped frame made up of steel with a minimum thickness of 80 mm, under a force of about 50 N (see Figure A.1).
