BS EN 13863-4:2012 PDF Download

BS EN 13863-4:2012 is a European Standard that outlines a test method for measuring the wear resistance of concrete pavements to studded tires. The standard applies to both specimens taken from existing concrete pavements and those created in a laboratory. It is important to note that this test method evaluates the finished concrete, rather than just the aggregate, as described in EN 1097-9.

The standard defines three different configurations of test equipment, with one using truck-wheels and the other two utilizing car-wheels. The aim of the standard is to provide a mechanism for determining the wear resistance of concrete pavements to studded tires.

This standard serves as a crucial tool for assessing the durability and quality of concrete pavements and can be used by manufacturers, researchers, and regulatory bodies to ensure that concrete pavements meet the necessary standards of wear resistance.
