Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 24: Resistance to fatigue

This European Standard specifies the methods for characterising the fatigue of bituminous mixtures using 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:
a) to rank bituminous mixtures on the basis of resistance to fatigue;
b) as a guide to relative performance in the pavement;
c) to obtain data for estimating the structural behaviour of the road; and
d) to judge test data according to specifications for bituminous mixtures.
Because this European 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 device used. For the choice of specific test conditions, the requirements of the product standards for bituminous mixtures need to be respected. The applicability of this document is described in the product standards for bituminous mixtures.
Results obtained from different test methods or using different failure criteria are not assured to be comparable.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren - Teil 24: Beständigkeit gegen Ermüdung

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Verfahren zur Charakterisierung der Ermüdung 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:
a)   zur Einstufung von Asphalt nach seiner Beständigkeit gegen Ermüdung;
b)   als Hinweis auf das relative Leistungsvermögen von Asphalt in der Fahrbahnbefestigung;
c)   dazu, Daten zur Abschätzung des Tragverhaltens in der Straße zu erhalten; und
d)   zur Beurteilung der Prüfdaten nach den für Asphalt geltenden Festlegungen.
Da diese Europäische Norm keinen bestimmten Prüfgerätetyp vorschreibt, hängt die genaue Auswahl der Prüfbedingungen von den Möglichkeiten und dem Arbeitsbereich der im betreffenden Fall verwendeten Prüfeinrichtung ab. Bei der Auswahl der jeweiligen Prüfbedingungen müssen 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 24 : Résistance à la fatigue

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes qui sont utilisées pour caractériser la fatigue des mélanges bitumineux par différents types d'essais, dont des essais de flexion et des essais de traction directe et indirecte. Les essais sont réalisés sur des matériaux bitumineux compactés, au moyen d'une charge sinusoïdale ou d'une autre charge contrôlée, en utilisant différents types d'éprouvettes et de supports.
La procédure est utilisée :
a)   pour classer les mélanges bitumineux selon leur résistance à la fatigue ;
b)   comme guide comparatif des performances dans les structures de chaussée ;
c)   pour obtenir des données permettant d'estimer le comportement structurel du matériau de la chaussée ; et
d)   pouvoir juger les résultats d'essais en fonction des spécifications des mélanges bitumineux.
Comme la présente Norme européenne n'impose pas un type de dispositif d'essai particulier, le choix précis des conditions d'essai dépend des possibilités et de la plage de fonctionnement du dispositif utilisé. Pour le choix des conditions d'essai spécifiques, il est nécessaire de respecter les critères des normes produit des mélanges bitumineux. L'applicabilité du présent document est décrite dans les normes produit des mélanges bitumineux.

Bitumenske zmesi - Preskusne metode - 24. del: Odpornost proti utrujanju

Ta evropski standard določa metode za karakterizacijo utrujenosti bitumenskih zmesi z alternativnimi preskusi, skupaj s preskusi upogiba ter preskusi direktne in 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:
a) za razvrščanje bitumenskih zmesi na podlagi odpornosti proti utrujanju;
b) kot smernica v zvezi z relativnimi lastnostmi v voziščni konstrukciji;
c) za pridobivanje podatkov z namenom vrednotenja strukturnega obnašanja ceste; in
d) za ocenjevanje preskusnih podatkov glede na specifikacije bitumenskih zmesi.
Ker ta evropski 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.
Rezultati, pridobljeni z različnimi preskusnimi metodami ali z uporabo različnih meril odpovedi, niso nujno primerljivi.

are used.
Note 2 to entry: Different test methods and different failure criteria might lead to results that are not
comparable.
Note 3 to entry: In a displacement controlled fatigue test the reduction to half of the initial stiffness is a gradual

damping coefficient T
coefficient needed for calculation of the system losses, in kilograms per second (kg/s)
Note 1 to entry: This coefficient can only be established by tuning the equipment with a reference beam of
which the stiffness modulus and (material) phase angle are known. In good working equipment, the coefficient T
can be neglected (adopting a zero value).

This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 227.

If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
United Kingdom.

Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.

Warning : This document is not a European Standard. It is distributed for review and comments. It is subject to change without
notice and shall not be referred to as a European Standard.
