EN 13108-3:2016 (E) 6 Introduction The aim of this European Standard is to enable specification of Soft Asphalt mixtures on a performance basis. In general, however, there are currently more empirical tests available to describe the mixtures. Depending on the experience with the combination of requirements in this European Standard more or less degrees of freedom for the producer may be given. This European Standard covers a large variety of materials for different applications, traffic and climate conditions. EN 13108-3 gives properties and listings of possible categories. It has to accommodate the road industry for all of Europe. For this reason the menu approach for properties has been chosen. The tables represent categories that are required all over Europe. For this reason numerical values in tables do not always obey statistical rules. Based on conditions of use specific properties and categories may be defined in documents related to the application of the product. The categories defined in those documents need to take into account the reproducibility of the test when this is given in the appropriate test method. Care should be taken to only select those tests which are relevant to the application of the Soft Asphalt and the use of the pavement and to avoid a combination of potentially conflicting requirements. SIST EN 13108-3:2016



EN 13108-3:2016 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for mixtures of the mix group Soft Asphalt for use on low volume roads and roads with low stability. Soft Asphalt is used for surface courses, regulating courses and bases in colder climates. The mixtures of the mix group Soft Asphalt are produced on the basis of hot bitumen. Mixtures utilizing bitumen emulsion and bituminous materials based on in situ recycling are not covered by this standard. This European Standard includes requirements for the selection of the constituent materials. It is designed to be read in conjunction with EN 13108-20 and EN 13108-21. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EN 13108-3:2016 (E) 11 of use, evidence shall be provided to show what the influence of the additive is on the performance of the mix. This proof shall be based on research or evidence of satisfactory performance according to 4.1. 4.2.2.2 Mixtures with reclaimed asphalt When using more than 10 % by mass of the total mixture of reclaimed asphalt from mixtures in which mainly paving grade bitumen has been used and when the binder added to the mixture is a paving grade bitumen and the grade of the bitumen is selected, the following requirement may be defined in documents related to the application of the product. The viscosity and/or the softening point and/or the penetration of the binder in the resulting mixture, calculated from the viscosity and/or the softening point and or the penetration of the added binder and the recovered binder from the reclaimed asphalt, shall meet the viscosity and/or softening point and/or penetration requirements of the specified grade. The calculation shall be performed according to Annex A (normative). In some cases the binder of the reclaimed asphalt can be so hardened that a very soft bitumen shall be chosen to fulfil these requirements. In such cases an alternative grade to that calculated according to Annex A (normative) may be defined. NOTE The choice for this specification depends on the choice of requirements with in this European Standard. For more performance designed mixes there might be no need to apply the viscosity requirement and/or softening point rule. However, the viscosity requirement or softening point rule is only valid for paving grade bitumen. 4.3 Aggregates 4.3.1 Coarse aggregate Coarse aggregate shall conform to EN 13043 as appropriate for the intended use. 4.3.2 Fine aggregate Fine aggregate shall conform to EN 13043 as appropriate for the intended use. 4.3.3 All-in aggregates All-in aggregate shall conform to EN 13043 as appropriate for the intended use. 4.3.4 Added filler Added filler shall conform to EN 13043 as appropriate for the intended use and may include materials such as cement, limestone and hydrated lime. Based on the experience in the place of use the type and amount of added filler may be defined in documents related to the application of the product. NOTE The expression "as appropriate for the intended use" in 4.3.1 to 4.3.4 means that the selection of the requirements and the particular category depends on a number of conditions. These conditions include traffic density, climatic conditions, the construction of the course in which the mixture will be used and economic considerations. 4.4 Reclaimed asphalt The use and the amount of reclaimed asphalt and the mix group and/or the courses from which the reclaimed asphalt has been or will be derived may be defined in documents related to the application of the product. The properties of reclaimed asphalt declared in accordance with EN 13108-8 shall conform to requirements that may be selected appropriate for the intended use. SIST EN 13108-3:2016



EN 13108-3:2016 (E) 12 NOTE The expression “appropriate for the intended use” means that the selection of the requirements and the particular category depends on a number of conditions. These conditions include traffic density, climatic conditions, the construction of the course in which the mixture will be used, and economic considerations. The upper sieve size D of the aggregate in the reclaimed asphalt shall not exceed the upper sieve size D of the mixture. The aggregate properties of the reclaimed asphalt or of the mixed aggregates from the reclaimed asphalt with the other aggregates shall fulfil the requirements for aggregate defined in documents related to the application of the mixture.
