Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part 33: Specimen prepared by roller compactor

This European Standard specifies the methods for compacting parallelepipedal specimens (slabs) of bituminous mixtures, to be used directly for subsequent testing, or from which test specimens are cut.
For a given mass of bituminous mixture, the specimens are prepared either under controlled compaction energy, or until a specified volume and therefore void content is obtained.
This European Standard describes the following methods of compaction:
 pneumatic tyre method,
 steel roller method,
 sliding plates method.
This European Standard is applicable to bituminous mixtures manufactured in the laboratory or in a mixing plant.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren für Heißasphalt - Teil 33: Probestückvorbereitung mit einem Rollenverdichtungsgerät

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Verfahren für die Verdichtung von quaderförmigen Probekörpern (Platten) aus Asphalt fest, die entweder direkt für die anschließende(n) Prüfung(en) verwendet werden oder aus denen Probekörper geschnitten werden.
Von einem vorgegebenen Asphaltmischgut können Probekörper entweder mit einer geregelten Verdichtungs-energie oder bis zum Erreichen eines bestimmten Volumens und infolgedessen eines bestimmten Luftporen-gehaltes hergestellt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die folgenden Verdichtungsverfahren:
-   Luftreifen-Verfahren;
-   Stahlwalzen-Verfahren;
-   Gleitplatten-Verfahren.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Asphalte, die im Labor oder im Asphaltwerk hergestellt wurden.

Mélanges bitumineux - Méthodes d'essai pour mélange hydrocarboné à chaud - Partie 33: Préparation des corps d'épreuve au compacteur de plaques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes de compactage des éprouvettes parallélépipédiques
(plaques) de mélanges bitumineux, qui doivent être utilisées directement pour des essais ultérieurs ou à partir
desquelles des éprouvettes sont prélevées.
Pour une masse donnée de mélange bitumineux, les éprouvettes peuvent être préparées soit à une énergie
de compactage contrôlée, soit à volume spécifié, et par conséquent à pourcentage de vide spécifié.
La présente Norme européenne décrit trois méthodes, qui diffèrent dans le procédé de compactage :
 méthode utilisant une ou deux roues équipées de pneumatiques ;
 méthode utilisant un rouleau en acier doux ;
 méthode utilisant une action de cisaillement par des couteaux.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux mélanges bitumineux fabriqués en laboratoire ou en centrale
d'enrobage.
