Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 19: Permeability of specimen

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the vertical and horizontal permeability of cylindrical pecimens of bituminous mixtures with interconnecting voids. The standard applies to specimens cored out of the road, specimens from laboratory made slabs or laboratory specimens prepared with a compaction device provided the thickness of the specimen is not less than twice the nominal maximum particle size of the aggregate in the mixture. The nominal diameter of specimens should be either 100 mm or 150 mm unless the nominal maximum particle size of the aggregate size exceeds 22 mm, when the nominal diameter is 150 mm.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren - Teil 19: Durchlässigkeit der Probekörper

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der vertikalen und horizontalen Durchlässigkeit von zylindrischen Asphalt-Probekörpern mit miteinander verbundenen Hohlräumen fest. Dieses Dokument gilt für durch Kernbohren aus einer Fahrbahnbefestigung entnommene Probekörper, für Probekörper aus im Laboratorium hergestellten Platten oder für im Laboratorium mit einer Verdichtungsvorrichtung hergestellte Probekörper, sofern die Dicke des Probekörpers nicht geringer als das Zweifache der maximalen Nennkorngröße der im Gemisch verwendeten Gesteinskörnung ist. Der Nenndurchmesser der Probekörper sollte entweder 100 mm oder 150 mm betragen, es sei denn, die maximale Nennkorngröße der Gesteinskörnung überschreitet 22 mm, in diesem Fall beträgt der Nenndurchmesser 150 mm.

Mélanges bitumineux - Méthodes d'essai - Partie 19: Perméabilité des éprouvettes

Ce document spécifie une méthode pour déterminer la perméabilité verticale et horizontale d’éprouvettes cylindriques de mélanges bitumineux avec des vides communicants. Ce document s’applique à des carottes prélevées dans la chaussée, à des éprouvettes extraites de plaques fabriquées en laboratoire ou à des éprouvettes de laboratoire préparées avec un dispositif de compactage, à condition que l’épaisseur de l’éprouvette ne soit pas inférieure à deux fois la dimension nominale maximale des granulats du mélange. Il convient que le diamètre nominal des éprouvettes soit égal à 100 mm ou à 150 mm, sauf si la dimension nominale maximale des granulats dépasse 22 mm alors que le diamètre nominal est de 150 mm.

4 Principle
A column of water with a constant height is applied to a cylindrical specimen and is allowed to
permeate through the specimen for a controlled time in either a vertical or horizontal direction
depending upon the parameter being measured. The resultant flow rate of the water Q or Q is a
v h
calculated measure of the permeability value K or K . The test is carried out at ambient temperature.

NOTE When the void content of the same specimen is determined, the relationship between permeability and
void content can be established.

In this method, only the water flow in a vertical direction through the specimen is measured.
5.2 Apparatus for vertical permeability
5.2.1 Apparatus as shown in Figure 1. The dimensions shall be such to ensure the water column
height is (300 ± 1) mm. The external diameter of the tube and any fittings shall be such that no water
can flow between the wall of the tube and the specimen when in place; the thickness of the tube shall be

4.3.1 Determine the dimensions of the specimen, to the nearest millimetre, according to
EN 12697-29. The thickness shall be greater than 25 % of the diameter and greater than twice the
nominal maximum aggregate size of the mixture.
4.3.2 If the specimen is trimmed by saw cutting, it shall be cleaned prior to testing, to prevent
restriction of the water flow.
4.3.3 The test shall be carried out at ambient temperature within the ranges of 15 °C to 25 °C and
shall be monitored and recorded. Place the specimen in a rubber cuff. Insert a plastic tube in the cuff
and place it on top of the specimen. Carefully inflate the rubber cuff with air to at least 50 kPa, so that it
presses firmly around the wall of the specimen
