Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Crack Propagation by Semi-Circular Bending Test

SKU147173449 Published by British Standards Institution BSI Publication Date2019-03-12 Pages CountPages16

The standard, BS EN 12697-44:2019, focuses on the Crack Propagation by Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) test method for bituminous mixtures. Its purpose is to assess the potential for crack propagation by determining the tensile strength or fracture toughness of the asphalt mixture. The test results provide information regarding the maximum load that the material can withstand before failure, as well as the criticality of a notch in the material.

It's important to note that this standard specifically addresses the crack propagation phase, which is the second part of the failure mechanism during dynamic loading. The first phase, crack initiation, is covered by the fatigue test detailed in EN 12697-24.
