Surfaces for sport areas - Determination of thickness of unbound mineral surfaces for outdoor sports areas

This European Standard describes two methods for determining the thickness of granular materials within a structure.
The two methods can be used to provide an indication of the thickness of surfacing material, one using a steel tape, the other using a floating disc and a steel tape. Method 1 is applicable to layers within a profile. Method 2 measures the thickness of a material at the surface.

Sportböden - Bestimmung der Dicke von ungebundenen mineralischen Belägen für Sportböden für den Außenbereich

Dieses Dokuments beschreibt zwei Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Dicke von Schichten aus Gesteins-körnungen
in Sportböden.
Die beiden Verfahren können zur näherungsweisen Bestimmung der Dicke von Materialien für Sportböden
angewendet werden; im ersten Verfahren wird die Dicke mit Hilfe eines Stahlbandmaßes, im zweiten mit Hilfe
einer schwimmenden Scheibe und eines Stahlbandmaßes ermittelt. Verfahren 1 gilt für Schichten innerhalb
eines Profils. Mit Verfahren 2 wird die Dicke eines Materials an der Oberfläche gemessen.

Sols sportifs - Détermination de l'épaisseur des sols minéraux non liés pour les terrains de sport de plein air

La présente Norme européenne décrit deux méthodes d’essai permettant de déterminer l’épaisseur des
matériaux granulaires au sein d’une structure.
Ces deux méthodes peuvent être appliquées pour fournir une indication de l’épaisseur du matériau de surface,
l’une utilisant un réglet en acier, l’autre un disque flottant et un réglet en acier. La Méthode 1 concerne les
couches présentes dans un profil. La Méthode 2 mesure l’épaisseur de surface d’un matériau.

1 Scope
This European Standard describes two methods for determining the thickness of granular materials within a

The two methods can be used to provide an indication of the thickness of surfacing material, one using a steel
tape, the other using a floating disc and a steel tape. Method 1 is applicable to layers within a profile.
Method 2 measures the thickness of a material at the surface.
2 Method 1 – Profile and divider method
2.1 Application
This method is suitable for determining the thickness of granular materials on-site or in the laboratory,
provided that a profile can be removed without destroying the structure.
2.2 Principle
A hole is excavated within the structure to reveal a cross-sectiona
