Overview

EN 13286-50:2004 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies a test method for manufacturing cylindrical test specimens of hydraulically bound mixtures. These mixtures are compacted to a predetermined density using either Proctor equipment or vibrating table compaction. The standard applies to mixtures containing aggregates with a maximum particle size of 31.5 mm. This method ensures consistency and reliability in preparing laboratory specimens for further engineering tests in road construction and related fields.

Key Topics

  • Specimen Preparation: The standard guides on producing cylindrical specimens using Proctor moulds filled with the hydraulic mixture and compacted through rammer impact or vibration techniques.
  • Compaction Methods: Two primary compaction equipment types are specified:
    • Proctor Rammer Compaction: Applying controlled blows to compact the mixture in layers, with parameters selected to achieve consistent density.
    • Vibrating Table Compaction: Using vibration and surcharge load to compact the mixture uniformly until the target specimen height/density is reached.
  • Specimen Dimensions: Specifies dimensions for cylindrical specimens to ensure standardization and suitability depending on the aggregate size (100 mm or 150 mm diameter).
  • Density and Water Content: Procedures to calculate specimen mass based on volume, dry density, and water content, often aligned with Proctor density and optimum moisture.
  • Storage Conditions: After compaction, specimens must be stored vertically, maintain moisture, and be kept at a stable temperature (20 ± 5 °C) to ensure proper curing before testing.
  • Quality Control: Allows only minimal deviation in density (±0.02 Mg/m³), and requires thorough documentation in test reports including compaction method, specimen details, and any deviations.

Applications

EN 13286-50:2004 is essential for professionals involved in construction materials testing, especially for road materials and hydraulically bound mixtures such as stabilized soils and cement-bound aggregates. Key applications include:

  • Road Construction Laboratory Testing: Preparation of standardized test specimens for evaluating the strength, durability, and performance of hydraulically bound materials prior to use in pavement layers.
  • Quality Assurance in Mixture Design: Ensures repeatability and reliability of specimen preparation for batch testing, enabling optimization of binder content and compaction parameters.
  • Research and Development: Provides consistent methods for academic and industrial research into new binding agents or aggregate treatments.
  • Compliance and Standardization: Facilitates harmonized testing practices across European countries, supporting regulatory and technical compliance in civil engineering projects.

Related Standards

EN 13286-50:2004 is part of a comprehensive series on unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures, covering multiple aspects of material testing:

  • EN 13286-2: Test methods for determination of laboratory reference density and water content using Proctor compaction.
  • EN 13286-5: Method for laboratory reference density and water content determination using vibrating tables.
  • EN 13286-40 to EN 13286-53: Various test methods for strength, elasticity, moisture condition, and specimen manufacture of hydraulically bound mixtures using different compaction equipment.

This suite of standards supports a systematic approach to the assessment of road construction materials, ensuring technical consistency and facilitating cross-border infrastructure development.
