Overview
SIST EN 13286-43:2004 is a European standard developed by CEN that defines a method for determining the modulus of elasticity of hydraulically bound mixtures (HBM). This standard applies to specimens with a maximum aggregate size of 31.5 mm produced either in the laboratory or from production mixtures. The modulus of elasticity is a key mechanical property representing the stiffness of hydraulically bound materials used in road construction and civil engineering.
The standard covers two primary test methods:
- Direct method (compression or direct tensile test)
- Indirect tensile test
By standardizing the measurement of the modulus of elasticity, EN 13286-43 helps ensure reliable assessment of material performance for hydraulically bound mixtures used in bases, sub-bases, and capping layers of pavements.
Key Topics
Test Methods for Modulus of Elasticity
Compression or Direct Tensile Test
The specimen is subjected to uniaxial stress, either in compression according to EN 13286-41 or direct tension as per EN 13286-40. During testing, the force-strain curve is recorded, enabling calculation of elasticity modulus by measuring applied force and strain deformation within specified regions of the specimen.Indirect Tensile Test
Following EN 13286-42, this method involves applying load diametrically to a cylindrical specimen. Strain measurements along horizontal and 60° inclined diameters allow calculation of Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus. This indirect approach is useful when direct tensile testing may be challenging.
Apparatus and Specimen Preparation
- Testing machines must comply with referenced standards specific to the test type (compression, direct tension, or indirect tension).
- Strain measurement devices such as extensometers or strain gauges are positioned on the specimen's central part to capture longitudinal strain accurately.
- Specimens must be prepared and cured under controlled laboratory conditions or extracted from production batches, with clear documentation of compaction and curing methods.
Calculation of Elastic Modulus
- Elastic modulus is expressed in megapascals (MPa) and calculated using recorded force and strain values.
- For compression/direct tension, the modulus is derived from the stress-strain curve at approximately 30% of maximum force.
- For indirect tension, calculations include factors such as Poisson's ratio and dimensional parameters, with formulas provided for precision.
Reporting Requirements
The test report must include:
- Specimen identification and dimensions
- Compaction method and specimen mass at manufacture and testing
- Curing conditions
- Test method details
- Calculated modulus values
This comprehensive reporting supports traceability and material quality assurance.
Applications
SIST EN 13286-43:2004 is essential for:
- Road construction and pavement engineering-evaluating the stiffness of hydraulically bound mixtures ensures optimal design and durability of base and sub-base layers.
- Contractor quality control-enables manufacturers to verify mixture properties before placement.
- Material research and development-provides standardized testing for new binder formulations or aggregate blends.
- Infrastructure maintenance-assessment of existing pavement materials through core sampling and testing supports planning for rehabilitation and overlays.
This standard addresses key performance parameters that influence load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance in hydraulically bound mixtures used throughout Europe and internationally.
