Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part 26: Stiffness

This European specifies the methods for characterising the stiffness of bituminous mixtures by alternative tests, including bending tests and direct and indirect tensile tests. The tests are performed on compacted bituminous material under a sinusoidal loading or other controlled loading, using different types of specimens and supports.
The procedure is used to rank bituminous mixtures on the basis of stiffness, as a guide to relative performance in the pavement, to obtain data for estimating the structural behaviour in the road and to judge test data according to specifications for bituminous mixtures.
As this standard does not impose a particular type of testing device the precise choice of the test conditions depends on the possibilities and the working range of the used device.
For the choice of specific test conditions, the requirements of the product standards for bituminous mixtures should be respected.
The applicability of this document is described in the product standards for bituminous mixtures.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren für Heißasphalt - Teil 26: Steifigkeit

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Verfahren zur Charakterisierung der Steifigkeit von Asphalt durch
verschiedene Prüfungen, einschließlich Biegeprüfungen und Prüfungen der direkten sowie der indirekten
Zugfestigkeit fest. Die Prüfungen werden an verdichtetem Asphalt unter sinusförmiger oder einer anderen
kontrollierten Belastung unter Verwendung verschiedener Probekörpertypen und Auflagerungen
vorgenommen.
Das Verfahren dient zur Einstufung von Asphalt auf der Grundlage seiner Steifigkeit als Hinweis auf sein
relatives Leistungsvermögen in der Fahrbahnbefestigung, um Daten zur Abschätzung des Tragverhaltens in
der Straße zu erhalten und um die Prüfdaten nach den für Asphalt geltenden Festlegungen zu beurteilen.
Da diese Norm keinen bestimmten Prüfgerätetyp vorschreibt, hängt die genaue Auswahl der Prüfbedingungen
von den Möglichkeiten und dem Arbeitsbereich des im betreffenden Fall verwendeten Prüfgeräts ab.
Bei der Auswahl der jeweiligen Prüfbedingungen sollten die Anforderungen der Produktnormen für Asphalt
berücksichtigt werden.
Die Anwendbarkeit dieses Dokumentes ist in den Produktnormen für Asphalt beschrieben.

Mélanges bitumineux - Méthodes d'essai pour mélange hydrocarboné à chaud - Partie 26: Module de rigidité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes de caractérisation de la rigidité des mélanges
hydrocarbonés à l'aide d'essais au choix, comprenant des essais de flexion et des essais de traction directe et
indirecte. Les essais sont réalisés sur un matériau bitumineux compacté soumis à une charge sinusoïdale ou
à d'autres charges contrôlées, utilisant différents types d'éprouvettes et de supports.
La procédure est utilisée pour classer les mélanges hydrocarbonés en fonction de leur module de rigidité,
pour servir de guide pour les performances relatives dans les chaussées, pour disposer de données utilisées
pour estimer le comportement structurel des chaussées et juger les résultats d'essais en fonction des
spécifications concernant les mélanges hydrocarbonés.
La présente norme n'imposant pas de type particulier d'appareillage d'essai, le choix spécifique des
conditions d'essai dépend des capacités et du domaine d’emploi de l'appareillage utilisé.
Pour le choix des conditions d'essai spécifiques, il convient de respecter les exigences des normes produit
sur les mélanges hydrocarbonés.
L'applicabilité du présent document est décrite dans les normes produit sur les mélanges hydrocarbonés.

Bitumenske zmesi - Preskusne metode za vroče asfaltne zmesi - 26. del: Togost

Ta evropski standard določa metode za karakterizacijo togosti bitumenskih zmesi z alternativnimi preskusi, skupaj s preskusi upogiba in preskusi direktne ter indirektne nateznosti. Preskusi se izvajajo na zgoščenem bitumenskem materialu pod sinusnim obremenjevanjem ali pod nadzorovanim obremenjevanjem z različnimi vrstami preskušancev in podpor. Postopek se uporablja za razvrščanje bitumenskih zmesi na podlagi togosti kot smernica v zvezi z relativnimi lastnostmi v voziščni konstrukciji za pridobivanje podatkov z namenom vrednotenja strukturnega obnašanja na cesti ter za ocenjevanje preskusnih podatkov glede na specifikacije bitumenskih zmesi. Ker ta standard ne predpisuje posebne preskusne naprave, je natančna izbira preskusnih pogojev odvisna od možnosti in delovnega obsega uporabljene naprave. Pri izbiri specifičnih preskusnih pogojev je treba upoštevati standarde za izdelke za bitumenske zmesi. Uporabnost tega dokumenta je opisana v standardih za izdelke za bitumenske zmesi.

EN 12697-26:2012 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the methods for characterising the stiffness of bituminous mixtures by alternative tests, including bending tests and direct and indirect tensile tests. The tests are performed on compacted bituminous material under a sinusoidal loading or other controlled loading, using different types of specimens and supports. The procedure is used to rank bituminous mixtures on the basis of stiffness, as a guide to relative performance in the pavement, to obtain data for estimating the structural behaviour in the road and to judge test data according to specifications for bituminous mixtures. As this standard does not impose a particular type of testing device the precise choice of the test conditions depends on the possibilities and the working range of the used device. For the choice of specific test conditions, the requirements of the product standards for bituminous mixtures should be respected. The applicability of this document is described in the product standards for bituminous mixtures. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

NOTE 4 For purely elastic materials, the phase angle is zero and then the complex modulus reduces to the Young's modulus. This happens when bituminous materials are at very low temperatures. Then the complex modulus reaches its highest possible value noted E∞. 3.1.3 secant modulus relationship between stress and strain at the loading time, t, for a material subjected to controlled strain rate loading: )()()(tttEεσ= (6) with stress, σ(t), and strain, ε(t), at time t NOTE 1 The strain law is: ni)(tt×=αε (7) where αi and n are constants.

For linear visco-elastic materials, the secant modulus obtained for different values of αi at the same temperature depends on the loading time, t, only. SIST EN 12697-26:2012

SIST EN 12697-26:2012



EN 12697-26:2012 (E) 10 4 Principle Suitable shaped samples are deformed in their linear range, under repeated loads or controlled strain rate loads. The amplitudes of the stress and strain are measured, together with the phase difference between stress and strain. 5 Sample preparation 5.1 Age of the specimens Prior to the start of testing, the specimens shall be stored on a flat surface at a temperature of not more than 25 °C for between 14 days and 42 days from the time of their manufacture. In the case of samples requiring cutting and/or gluing, the cutting shall be performed no more than 8 days after compaction of the asphalt and the gluing shall be performed at least 2 weeks from cutting. The time of manufacture for these samples is the time when they are cut. 5.2 Drying of the specimen After sawing and before gluing and/or testing, the specimens shall be dried to constant mass in air at a relative air humidity of less than 80 % at a temperature not more than 20 °C. A test specimen shall be considered to be dry after at least 8 h drying time and when two weighings performed minimum 4 h apart differ by less than 0,1 %. 5.3 Dimensions and bulk density of the specimens The dimensions of the specimens shall be measured according to EN 12697-29. The bulk density shall be determined in accordance with EN 12697-6 or EN 12697-7. The bulk density of each specimen shall not differ by more than 1 % from the average apparent density of the batch. Otherwise, the specimen shall be rejected. 5.4 Temperature of the specimen before testing The test shall not be started until the specimen has reached the required test temperature. NOTE The specimen temperature can monitored using a dummy specimen or the required temperature conditioning time can be evaluated in pre-tests. The needed conditioning time depends on the test equipment, specimen size and tested material. 5.5 Number of test specimens For all the mentioned tests, the minimum amount of specimens that need to be tested to get one test result (=one stiffness modulus) is 4 specimens. 6 Checking of the testing equipment The complete testing equipment shall be checked periodically with at least one reference specimen with a known stiffness modulus (modulus and phase lag). To check the test equipment for Annexes A, B, C, or D, the bending moment (E.I) of the specimen(s) shall be chosen to be equal to the bending moment of a normal asphalt test specimen (adopting a stiffness modulus for the asphalt in the range of 3 GPa to 14 GPa); for Annex E and Annex F an appropriate checking specimen with a known stiffness between 3 GPa and 14 GPa shall be used. The reference specimen shall be tested at not less than 6 frequencies and 2 deflection levels. The back-calculated stiffness moduli shall be within 2 % with respect to the known modulus and within 1,0° for SIST EN 12697-26:2012



EN 12697-26:2012 (E) 11 the known phase lag. If, due to the electronic components or mechanical equipment, systematic deviations (or larger deviations) of:  the stiffness modulus is observed, all electronic components and mechanical equipment shall be checked for proper working and no procedure for the back-calculation software is permitted;  the phase angle is observed, a correction procedure for the back-calculation software is permitted. NOTE The geometry of the reference specimen should be selected so that it will lead to a mass comparable with the mass of an asphalt specimen. The clamping of the reference specimen should be equal to the procedure for an asphalt specimen. A reference material with a phase lag unequal to zero is preferred but a material like aluminium (E around 70 GPa, phase lag is zero) is also acceptable. 7 Test methods 7.1 General The following test methods can be adopted by use of the relative form and mass factor (see Clause 9). The testing procedures that shall be followed are described in Annexes A, B, C, D, E and F. If other test procedures are used to characterise stiffness properties of bituminous mixtures, the equivalence shall first by verified by comparison with one of these procedures and a statement on that equivalence shall be attached to test reports. NOTE Inter-laboratory tests have shown that the following mentioned bending tests are in good agreement provided that the equipment is carefully calibrated and that some basic guidelines are strictly followed. 7.2 Tests with sinusoidal or pulse loading 7.2.1 Bending tests The bending test options are:  2PB-TR: test applying two point bending to trapezoidal specimens, see Annex A;  2PB-PR: test applying two point bending to prismatic specimens, see Annex A;  3PB-PR: test applying three point bending to prismatic specimens, see Annex B;  4PB-PR: test applying four point bending to prismatic specimens, see Annex B. 7.2.2 lndirect tensile test The indirect tensile test options are:  IT-CY: test applying indirect tension to cylindrical specimens, see Annex C;  CIT-CY: test applying cyclic in

FprEN 12697-26:2011 (E) 7 1 Scope This European specifies the methods for characterising the stiffness of bituminous mixtures by alternative tests, including bending tests and direct and indirect tensile tests. The tests are performed on compacted bituminous material under a sinusoidal loading or other controlled loading, using different types of specimens and supports. The procedure is used to rank bituminous mixtures on the basis of stiffness, as a guide to relative performance in the pavement, to obtain data for estimating the structural behaviour in the road and to judge test data according to specifications for bituminous mixtures. As this standard does not impose a particular type of testing device the precise choice of the test conditions depends on the possibilities and the working range of the used device. For the choice of specific test conditions, the requirements of the product standards for bituminous mixtures should be respected. The applicability of this document is described in the product standards for bituminous mixtures. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

This pair can be expressed in two ways: the real component E1 and the imaginary components E2 : )(cos*1Φ×=EE (2) )(sin*2Φ×=EE (3) the absolute value of the complex modulus E* and the phase angle, Φ: 2221*EEE+= (4) =Φ12arctanEE (5) NOTE 3 This second characterisation is more often used in practice. In linear elastic multi-layer calculations for instance the E* modulus is generally used as input value for Young's modulus. NOTE 4 For purely elastic materials, the phase angle is zero and then the complex modulus reduces to the Young's modulus. This happens when bituminous materials are at very low temperatures (Φ ≤ –20 °C). Then the complex modulus reaches its highest possible value noted E∞. 3.1.2 stiffness modulus absolute value of the complex modulus E* or the value of the secant modulus 3.1.3 secant modulus relationship between stress and strain at the loading time, t, for a material subjected to controlled strain rate loading: )()()(tttEεσ= (6) with stress, σ(t), and strain, ε(t), at time t NOTE 1 The strain law is: ni)(tt×=αε (7) where αi and n are constants. NOTE 2 Several successive tests may be carried out on the same specimen for different values αi. For linear visco-elastic materials, the secant modulus obtained for different values of αi at the same temperature depends on the loading time, t, only. kSIST FprEN 12697-26:2011

FprEN 12697-26:2011 (E) 10 5 Sample preparation 5.1 Age of the specimens Prior to the start of testing, the specimens shall be stored on a flat surface at a temperature of not more than 20 °C for between 14 days and 42 days from the time of their manufacture. In the case of samples requiring cutting and/or gluing, the cutting shall be performed no more than 8 days after compaction of the asphalt and the gluing shall be performed at least 2 weeks from cutting. The time of manufacture for these samples is the time when they are cut. 5.2 Drying of the specimen After sawing and before gluing and/or testing, the specimens shall be dried to constant mass in air at a relative air humidity of less than 80 % at a temperature not more than 20 °C. A test specimen shall be considered to be dry after at least 8 h drying time and when two weightings performed minimum 4 h apart differ by less than 0,1 % 5.3 Dimensions and bulk density of the specimens The dimensions of the specimens shall be measured according to EN 12697-29.
The bulk density shall be determined in accordance with EN 12697-6. The bulk density of each specimen shall not differ by more than 1 % from the average apparent density of the batch. Otherwise, the specimen shall be rejected. 5.4 Temperature of the specimen before testing The test shall not be started until the specimen has reached the required test temperature. NOTE The specimen temperature can monitored using dummy specimen. Alternatively, the temperature can be taken as having returned to the test temperature if the time between the alignment of the specimen in the test equipment and the actual testing is (1,5 ± 0,5) h. 6 Checking of the testing equipment The complete testing equipment shall be checked with at least one reference specimen with a known stiffness modulus (modulus and phase lag). To check the test equipment for Annex A, B, C, or D, the bending moment (E.I) of the specimen(s) shall be chosen to be equal to the bending moment of a normal asphalt test specimen (adopting a stiffness modulus for the asphalt in the range of 3 GPa to 14 GPa); for Annex E and Annex F an appropriate checking specimen with a known stiffness between 3 and 14 GPa shall be used. The reference specimen shall be tested at not less than 6 frequencies and 2 deflection levels. The back-calculated stiffness moduli shall be within 2 % with respect to the known modulus and within 1,0° for the known phase lag. If, due to the electronic components or mechanical equipment, systematic deviations (or larger deviations) of:  the stiffness modulus is observed, all electronic components and mechanical equipment shall be checked for proper working and no procedure for the back-calculation software is permitted;  the phase angle is observed, a correction procedure for the back-calculation software is permitted. NOTE The geometry of the reference specimen should be selected so that it will lead to a weight comparable with the weight of an asphalt specimen. The clamping of the reference specimen should be equal to the procedure for an asphalt specimen. A reference material with a phase lag unequal to zero is preferred but a material like aluminium (E around 70 GPa, phase lag is zero) is also acceptable. kSIST FprEN 12697-26:2011



FprEN 12697-26:2011 (E) 11 7 Test methods 7.1 General The following test methods can be adopted by use of the relative form and mass factor (see Clause 8). The testing procedures that shall be followed are described in Annexes A, B, C, D, E and F. If other test procedures are used to characterise stiffness properties of bituminous mixtures, the equivalence shall first by verified by comparison with one of these procedures and a statement on that equivalence shall be attached to test reports. NOTE Inter-laboratory tests have shown that the following mentioned bending tests are in good agreement provided that the equipment is carefully calibrated and that some basic guidelines are strictly followed. 7.2 Tests with sinusoidal loading 7.2.1 Bending tests The bending test options are:  2PB-TR: test applying two point bending to trapezoidal speci
