EN 13863-3:2004 - Concrete pavements - Part 3: Test methods for the determination of the thickness of a concrete pavement from cores

Overview

EN 13863-3:2004 (CEN) specifies a standardized test method for determining the thickness of concrete pavements by measuring cores drilled through the full depth of the slab. The standard defines requirements for coring, measurement procedures, acceptable measuring equipment and reporting so thickness determinations are consistent, repeatable and suitable for quality control, compliance checking and forensic investigation.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Measurement of concrete slab thickness from cores taken through the full pavement depth.
  • Normative reference: EN 12504-1 (cored specimens - testing and compression) is cited as essential for coring practice.
  • Coring and specimen selection
    • Cores must be representative of the pavement area and drilled with the axis normal to the pavement surface.
    • Damaged, fragmented, split or curved cores shall not be used.
    • Recommended core diameters: 100 mm or 150 mm.
    • Avoid coring at high-stress locations (slab corners) or within 0.5 m of joints; ideal locations are between quarter points or between consecutive transverse cracks.
  • Apparatus and measurement accuracy
    • Coring equipment per EN 12504-1.
    • Measuring equipment options: metal rule or tape, calliper gauge, approved jig or device as per local specifications.
    • The permitted measurement procedures shall achieve an accuracy of ±0.5 mm; individual measurements are recorded to the nearest 1 mm.
  • Measurement procedure
    • Measure core length between upper and lower surfaces (or construction demarcation lines when bonded layers exist).
    • Take measurements at four points evenly spaced around the core circumference; mark positions and average the four readings to obtain the core length.
    • Exception: where cores fragment, thickness may be measured from the side of the cored hole.
  • Reporting
    • Test report must reference the standard and include core identification, receipt/testing dates, apparatus details, individual measurements, average thickness and any deviations from the standard.

Applications and users

  • Intended for road authorities, contractors, pavement inspectors, materials laboratories, design engineers and forensic analysts.
  • Practical uses:
    • Quality control and acceptance testing of newly placed concrete pavements.
    • Verification of in-situ pavement thickness against design specifications.
    • Investigation of pavement distress, layer composition and reconstruction planning.
    • Supporting contractual claims and dispute resolution where documented thickness is required.

Related standards

  • EN 13863 series (Part 1: survey method for thickness; Part 2: bond between layers; Part 4: wear resistance)
  • EN 12504-1 (testing cored concrete specimens)
