Road and airfield surface characteristics - Test methods - Part 8: Determination of transverse unevenness indices

This European Standard defines the different transverse unevenness indices of the pavement surface of roads and airfields and the appropriate methods of evaluation and reporting.
The indices have been defined principally independent of the measurement device.
This European Standard focuses on transverse unevenness measurements for the following three purposes:
- indices to provide a means for quality control of pavement surfaces of newly laid pavements, especially with respect to crossfall and the evidence of irregularities due to improper laying and/or compacting action.
- indices to be used for evaluating the condition of pavements in service as part of routine condition monitoring programs. They are intended to detect transverse deformations caused by the traffic, pavement wear or subsurface movement.
- indices to be used for resurfacing activities on pavements in use.
The parameters and evaluation methods are applicable both for roads and airfields.

Oberflächeneigenschaften von Straßen und Flugplätzen - Prüfverfahren - Teil 8: Bestimmung der Parameter zur Ermittlung der Breitenunebenheit

Diese Europäische Norm definiert die verschiedenen Parameter für die Bestimmung der Breitenunebenheit
der Fahrbahnoberfläche von Straßen und Flugplätzen sowie die geeigneten Verfahren für Bewertung und
Auswertung.
Die Parameter sind im Allgemeinen unabhängig von den Messgeräten definiert worden.
Der Schwerpunkt dieser Europäischen Norm liegt bei der Bestimmung der Breitenunebenheit für die
folgenden drei Ziele:
- Parameter als Mittel zur Qualitätskontrolle der Oberflächen von neu verlegten Fahrbahnbelägen,
insbesondere hinsichtlich der Querneigung und des Nachweises von Unregelmäßigkeiten infolge
unsachgemäßer Verlege- und/oder Verdichtungsarbeiten;
- Parameter zur Bewertung des Zustands von befahrenen Fahrbahnbelägen als Teil des regelmäßig
durchgeführten Programms zur Zustandsüberwachung. Sie sind dafür vorgesehen, Verformungen in
Querrichtung zu erkennen, die durch Verkehr, Abnutzung des Fahrbahnbelags oder Bewegungen unter
der Oberfläche verursacht wurden;
- Parameter für die Erneuerung von befahrenen Fahrbahnbelägen.
Die Parameter und Bewertungsverfahren gelten sowohl für Straßen als auch für Flugplätze.

Caractéristiques de surface des routes et aérodromes - Méthodes d'essais - Partie 8 : Détermination des indices d'uni transversal

Cette Norme européenne définit les déformations et défauts d'uni transversaux de la surface de revêtement de chaussée pour les routes et aérodromes ainsi que les méthodes d'évaluation et d'élaboration de comptes-rendus.
Les indices ont été déterminés principalement  de manière indépendante des appareillages de mesure.
Cette Norme européenne s’applique particulièrement à la mesure du profil en travers avec les trois buts suivants :
   paramètres pour fournir un moyen de contrôle qualité des couches de surface des chaussées nouvellement mises en oeuvre, notamment en ce qui concerne le respect du dévers et détecter des défauts dus à une mise en œuvre et/ou un compactage inapproprié ;
   paramètres à utiliser pour évaluer l’état des chaussées en service en tant que partie intégrante de programmes de surveillance périodiques de leur état. Ils visent à détecter les déformations transversales dues au trafic, à l'usure de la couche de surface ou aux déformations de la couche inférieure ;
   paramètres pour des actions de reprofilage sur des chaussées en service.
Les paramètres et les méthodes d'évaluation s'appliquent tant aux routes qu'aux aérodromes.

Introduction Road profile transverse unevenness affects safety and ride comfort. Transverse uneveness demands can differ from one road to another and are highly related to the speed limit, the kind of traffic, the climatic conditions, the accepted comfort limits, etc. Road profile transverse unevenness is consequently key information for acceptance of newly laid pavements and for road maintenance management systems. Road profile transverse unevenness encompasses a variety of aspects, such as: the crossfall of the transverse profile, irregularities or different defects in the transverse profile (steps, ridges/dips and edge slumps) and the longitudinal ruts in the wheel paths caused by the traffic. The measurement of road transverse unevenness has been a subject of much research for more than 70 years, resulting in many different measuring methods. Measurement devices can be split into: - stationary equipment, such as e.g. the straightedge for irregularities and longitudinal ruts or rod and level for crossfall in single profiles, - dynamic equipment, such as e.g. the profilometer, which is dependant on the characteristics of the device, suitable for measuring all mentioned aspects for single profiles as well as section (mean) values. This European Standard has been written to be used in conjunction with the European Standards EN 13036-6 (Profilometer) and EN 13036-7 (Straightedge).
1 Scope This European Standard defines the different transverse unevenness indices of the pavement surface of roads and airfields and the appropriate methods of evaluation and reporting.
The indices have been defined principally independent of the measurement device. This European Standard focuses on transverse unevenness measurements for the following three purposes: - indices to provide a means for quality control of pavement surfaces of newly laid pavements, especially with respect to crossfall and the evidence of irregularities due to improper laying and/or compacting action. - indices to be used for evaluating the condition of pavements in service as part of routine condition monitoring programs. They are intended to detect transverse deformations caused by the traffic, pavement wear or subsurface movement. - indices to be used for resurfacing activities on pavements in use. The parameters and evaluation methods are applicable both for roads and airfields. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

travelled distance between two consecutive transverse profile measurements 3.2 bias difference between the expectation of the test results and an accepted reference value NOTE Bias is the total systematic error as contrasted to random error. There may be one or more systematic error components to the bias. A large systematic difference from the accepted reference value is reflected by a large bias value (see ISO 3534-1). 3.3 crossfall transverse gradient across a section or full width of a pavement measured perpendicular to the centre line SIST EN 13036-8:2009

maximum difference expected between two measurements made by the same machine, with the same tyre, operated by the same crew on the same section of road in a short space of time, with a probability of 95 %. 3.11 ridge any deviation above a straight reference line 3.12 dip any deviation below a straight reference line 3.13
