Overview

EN 12697-34:2020 - "Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 34: Marshall test" (CEN) defines the European Marshall test procedure for measuring the stability, flow and Marshall quotient of bituminous mixture specimens. The standard applies to dense graded asphalt concrete and hot rolled asphalt and is intended for laboratory mix design and quality control of pavement materials. It supersedes EN 12697-34:2012 and integrates with other EN 12697 series methods.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope: Test method for specimens mixed per EN 12697-35 and prepared using the impact compactor EN 12697-30.
  • Measured parameters: Marshall stability (maximum load, kN), flow (deformation, mm), and Marshall quotient (S/F, kN/mm).
  • Specimen preparation: Compact specimens with specified blows (default 50 per side; alternatives noted for light/heavy traffic), demoulding, cooling and measurement of bulk density (EN 12697-6) and dimensions (EN 12697-29).
  • Test conditions:
    • Water bath at (60 ± 1) °C, immersion 40–60 minutes.
    • Compression machine capable of constant deformation rate (50 ± 2) mm/min (EN ISO 7500-1:2018 compliant).
    • Flow measurement accuracy ±0.1 mm; graphical plot of force vs deformation required for tangent extrapolation.
    • Use of specified testing head dimensions (Annex B).
  • Corrections & calculations: Corrected stability factor applied if specimen height differs from nominal (63.5 mm) using the volume/height correction procedure in Clause 7.
  • Quality criteria: Tests carried out on sets of four specimens; acceptable variation limits - stability variation < 15%, flow variation < 20%. Precision data (repeatability/reproducibility) are provided for asphalt concrete and hot rolled asphalt.

Practical Applications

  • Pavement mix design and optimization (targeting adequate stability and deformation resistance).
  • Quality control during production and construction to verify conformance with specifications.
  • Comparative evaluation of binder or aggregate effects on mix stiffness and deformation behavior.
  • Input for pavement design and performance assessment where Marshall parameters are required.

Who Uses This Standard

  • Pavement and materials laboratories
  • Road authorities and specifications writers
  • Asphalt mix designers and consultants
  • Contractors and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) personnel
  • Research organizations studying mix performance

Related Standards

  • EN 12697-6 - Bulk density of specimens
  • EN 12697-29 - Specimen dimensions
  • EN 12697-30 - Specimen preparation by impact compactor
  • EN 12697-35 - Laboratory mixing
  • EN ISO 7500-1:2018 - Calibration/verification of testing machines

Using EN 12697-34:2020 helps ensure consistent, repeatable Marshall testing for asphalt mix design and compliance across CEN member states.
