1 Scope

This European Standard specifies three test methods (A1, A2 and B) for determining the resistance of bituminous mixtures to permanent deformation by cyclic compression tests with confinement The tests make it possible to rank various mixtures or to check on the acceptability of a given mixture They

do not allow making a quantitative prediction of rutting in the field to be made

Test methods A1 and A2 describe methods for determining the creep characteristics of bituminous mixtures by means of a uniaxial cyclic compression test with some confinement present In this test a cylindrical test specimen is subjected to a cyclic axial stress Method A2 is preferred for mastic asphalt and Method A1 for other asphalt mixtures To achieve a certain confinement, the diameter of the loading platen is taken smaller than that of the test specimen In test method A1, the test specimen is loaded by block-pulses whereas in method A2 haversine loading with rest time is applied

Test method B describes the method for determining the creep characteristics of bituminous mixtures

by means of the triaxial cyclic compression test In this test a cylindrical test specimen is subjected to a defined confining stress and a cyclic axial stress This test is most often used for the purpose of evaluation and development of new types of mixtures

This European Standard applies to test specimens prepared in the laboratory or cored from the road The maximum size of the aggregates is 32 mm

NOTE 1 Confinement of the test specimen is necessary to simulate realistic rutting behaviour, especially for gap-graded mixtures with a large stone fraction

NOTE 2 For the purpose of Type Testing, the test conditions are given in EN 13108–20

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply

Note 1 to entry: Generally the following stages can be distinguished (see Figure 1):

— stage 1: the (initial) part of the creep curve, where the slope of the curve decreases with increasing number of loading cycles;

— stage 2: the (middle) part of the creep curve, where the slope of the curve is quasi constant and can be expressed by the creep rate f c (See key 5 of Figure 1) The exact turning point of the creep curve lies within this stage;

— stage 3: the (last) part of the creep curve, where the slope increases with increasing number of loading cycles Depending on the testing conditions and on the mixture, one or more stages may be absent

A preload shall be applied The accuracy on the preload control shall be ± 10 % or better

NOTE 1 A typical value for tests on rolled asphalt according to method A1 is (72 ± 7) N (this corresponds to a pre-stress of (10 ± 1) kPa on a test specimen with a diameter of the loading surface of 96 mm) which is applied for (120 ± 6) s

NOTE 2 The upper platen gives a constant static load, which however is not included in the cyclic load

The registration of test specimen deformation shall be started directly after the preloading

Immediately after the preloading time has ended, the periodic load shall be applied according to

EN 13108-20 and Clauses 7.2.2 of this standard
