Earthworks - Geotechnical laboratory tests - Part 2: Fragmentability test standard

This document defines the principle and the methods for the determination of the "fragmentability coefficient" of rocky material.
The fragmentability coefficient IFR distinguishes the behaviour of certain rocky material and is used to show the change in particle size from the moment than the material is excavated through to its subsequent implementation and in certain cases during its whole service life. Changes in the particle size occur due to the structural resistance of the rock being unable to support the mechanical stress to which it is subjected during its implementation and use.

Erdarbeiten - Geotechnische Laborversuche - Teil 2: Prüfung der Zertrümmerbarkeit

Dieses Dokument definiert die Grundlagen und die Verfahren zur Bestimmung des "Zertrümmerbarkeits-koeffizienten" von Felsmaterial.
Der Zertrümmerbarkeitskoeffizient IFR unterscheidet das Verhalten bestimmter Felsmaterialien und wird verwendet, um die Änderungen der Korngröße ab dem Zeitpunkt des Lösens des Materials bis zum folgen-den Einbau und in bestimmten Fällen während der gesamten Einsatzdauer darzustellen. Veränderungen der Korngröße treten auf, da der Fels aufgrund seiner Strukturfestigkeit nicht die mechanische Belastung aushalten kann, der er während des Einbaus und der Verwendung ausgesetzt ist.

Terrassements - Essais géotechniques en laboratoire - Partie 2 : Essai de fragmentabilité

Le présent document définit le principe et les méthodes de détermination du « coefficient de fragmentabilité » d’un matériau rocheux.
Le coefficient de fragmentabilité IFR sert à distinguer le comportement de certains matériaux rocheux et est utilisé pour apprécier l’évolution de la granulométrie depuis l’extraction du matériau jusqu’à sa mise en œuvre et, dans certains cas, pendant toute sa durée de vie. Des modifications de la granulométrie se produisent en raison de la résistance structurelle de la roche, qui est incapable de résister aux contraintes mécaniques auxquelles elle est soumise lors de sa mise en œuvre et de son utilisation.

Zemeljska dela - Geotehnični laboratorijski preskusi - 2. del: Preskus drobljivosti

Ta dokument določa načelo in metode za določanje »koeficienta drobljivosti« kamninskega materiala.
Koeficient drobljivosti IFR označuje obnašanje določenega kamninskega materiala in se uporablja za prikaz spremembe velikosti delcev, do katere pride v obdobju med časom izkopa materiala in poznejšo izvedbo ter, v nekaterih primerih, v celotni življenjski dobi materiala. Velikost delcev se spremeni, ker konstrukcijska odpornost kamnine ni zadostna za prenašanje mehanskih obremenitev, katerim je izpostavljena med izvedbo in uporabo.

Introduction
The fragmentability coefficient I is an identification parameter adopted in the classification of materials
FR
for earthworks according to EN 16907-2.
1 Scope
This document defines the principle and the methods for the determination of the “fragmentability
coefficient” of rocky material.
The fragmentability coefficient I distinguishes the behaviour of certain rocky material and is used to
FR
show the change in particle size from the moment that the material is excavated through to its subsequent
implementation and in certain cases during its whole service life. Changes in the particle size occur due
to the structural resistance of the rock being unable to support the mechanical stress to which it is
subjected during its implementation and use.
