This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the maximum dry density of cohesionless materials when compacted using a vibrating table. The method utilizes vibratory compaction to obtain maximum density under saturated condition. Materials for which this method is applicable may contain up to 12% by mass fines (< 0,063 mm). Maximum particle size of the materials to be tested is 80 mm.
Ungebunden und hydraulisch gebundene Gemische - Teil 5: Laborprüfverfahren für die Trockendichte und den Wassergehalt - Vibrationstisch
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der höchsten Trockendichte und des Wassergehalts von nicht bindigen Materialien fest, die auf einem Vibrationstisch verdichtet werden. Bei diesem Verfahren wird die Vibrationsverdichtung genutzt, um unter Sättigungsbedingungen die höchste Dichte zu erreichen.
Dieses Verfahren ist auf Materialien anwendbar, die bis zu 12 Massenanteile in Prozent Feinkorn (< 0,063 mm) enthalten dürfen. Das Größtkorn der zu prüfenden Materialien beträgt 80 mm.
Das Verfahren trifft für Gemische zu, die im Straßenbau verwendet werden.

Overview
EN 13286-5:2003 (CEN) defines a laboratory test method using a vibrating table to determine the maximum dry density and corresponding water content of cohesionless and lightly fined materials used in road construction. The method uses vibratory compaction under near‑saturated conditions and is applicable to materials containing up to 12% fines (<0.063 mm) with a maximum particle size of 80 mm.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Laboratory determination of reference dry density and water content for unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures intended for roadworks.
- Material limits: Up to 12% fines by mass; max particle size 80 mm.
- Apparatus:
- Steel vibrating table with cushioned deck and electromagnetic vibrator (frequency ~50 Hz ≈ 3 000 vpm).
- Amplitude adjustable (typical range 0.1–0.4 mm).
- Cylindrical metal moulds (≈14 L capacity; dimensions specified).
- Surcharge base plate and surcharge load assembly, balances, slide gauge, ventilated oven (110 ± 5 °C).
- Procedure highlights:
- Representative sampling (see EN 932‑1); typical sample mass ≈ 45 kg.
- If water is added, allow soaking (at least 30 min for traditional road materials).
- Initial vibration during filling (total 360 s), reducing amplitude to prevent boiling.
- Final vibration under surcharge at specified amplitude for 720 s.
- Measure settled specimen height, weigh wet and oven‑dried material (drying per EN 1097‑5).
- Calculations & reporting:
- Water content from mass loss on drying.
- Maximum dry density calculated from measured wet mass, volume, and water content.
- Test report must reference EN 13286‑5 and include density (Mg/m3 to two decimals) and water content (%) to one decimal.
- Calibration: Mould calibration interval - after every 1 000 tests or annually.
Applications and users
- Practical for geotechnical and materials laboratories, pavement engineers, highway authorities, contractors, and aggregate suppliers who need standardized reference densities and moisture conditions for:
- Designing and specifying unbound base and subbase layers.
- Quality control and acceptance testing of road construction materials.
- Comparative evaluation of compaction methods (vibrating table vs. Proctor, vibrating hammer, etc.).
