Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part 31: Specimen preparation by gyratory compactor

This European Standard specifies the method for compaction of cylindrical specimens of bituminous mixtures using a gyratory compactor. Such compaction is achieved by combining a rotary shearing action and a vertical resultant force applied by a mechanical head.
The method can be used for
a) determination of the air voids content of a mixture for a given number of gyrations;
b) derivation of a curve density versus number of gyrations;
c) preparation of specimens of given height at a predetermined density, for subsequent testing of their mechanical properties.
For purposes a) and b), the performance based procedure of the annex A specifies a calibration chain so that the result of the test should be independent from the used type of gyratory compactor.
For purpose c), compliance with annex A may be not necessary.
This European Standard applies to bituminous mixtures (both those made up in laboratory and those resulting from work site sampling), with an upper aggregate size not larger than 31,5 mm.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren für Heißasphalt - Teil 31: Herstellung von Probekörpern - Gyrator-Verdichter

Dieses Dokument legt das Verfahren zur Verdichtung von zylindrischen Asphalt-Probekörpern mit einem Gyrator-Verdichter fest. Diese Verdichtung wird durch die Kombination einer drehenden Schubwirkung und einer vertikalen resultierenden Kraft, die von einem mechanischen Kopf ausgeübt wird, erreicht.
Das Verfahren kann angewendet werden für:
a)   die Bestimmung des Hohlraumgehalts eines Asphalts für eine gegebene Anzahl der Achsendrehungen;
b)   die Ableitung einer Kurve der Raumdichte im Verhältnis zur Anzahl der Achsendrehungen;
c)   die Herstellung von Probekörpern mit einer vorgegebenen Höhe und einer bestimmten Raumdichte für die nachfolgende Prüfung ihrer mechanischen Eigenschaften.
Für die Anwendung von a) und b) legt das in Anhang A angegebene performancebasierte Verfahren eine Kalibrierungskette fest, so dass das Prüfergebnis unabhängig vom verwendeten Gyrator-Verdichtertyp sein sollte.
Für die Anwendung von c) ist die Übereinstimmung mit Anhang A nicht unbedingt erforderlich.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Asphalt (sowohl im Labor hergestellten wie auch für solchen, von dem auf der Baustelle Proben entnommen wurden) mit einer maximalen Korngröße der Gesteinskörnung von nicht mehr als 31,5 mm.

Mélanges bitumineux - Méthodes d'essai pour mélange hydrocarboné a chaud - Partie 31: Confection d'éprouvettes a la presse a compactage giratoire

Le présent document spécifie la méthode de compactage des éprouvettes cylindriques de mélanges bitumineux a l'aide d'une presse a compactage giratoire. Ce type de compactage est obtenu en combinant une action de cisaillement rotative et une force résultante axiale appliquée par une tete mécanique.
Cette méthode peut etre utilisée pour :
a)   la détermination du pourcentage de vides d'une éprouvette pour un nombre de girations donné ;
b)   la détermination d'une courbe de la masse volumique par rapport au nombre de girations ;
c)   la confection d'éprouvettes d'une hauteur donnée a une masse volumique prédéterminée, pour réaliser par la suite des essais de leurs propriétés mécaniques.
Pour les applications de type a) et b), la procédure fondée sur les performances décrite dans l'Annexe A spécifie une chaîne de calibrage telle que le résultat soit indépendant du type d'appareillage utilisé.
Pour les applications de type c), le recours a l'Annexe A peut ne pas etre nécessaire.
Cette norme s'applique aux mélanges bitumineux (a la fois ceux confectionnés en laboratoire et ceux provenant d'un échantillonnage sur chantier), ayant une taille granulaire maximale inférieure a 31,5 mm.
