Methods of Sampling and Testing Mastic Asphalt Used in Building and Civil Engineering
Also Known As:
BS 5284:1993 is a standard that provides guidelines for sampling and testing mastic asphalt used in building and civil engineering projects. The standard includes detailed methods for various aspects of the testing process. This includes information on how to properly sample the mastic asphalt, determine the appropriate sample size, and prepare the samples for testing.
The standard also provides methods for testing the hardness of the mastic asphalt. This is an important characteristic to assess the performance and durability of the material. Additionally, the standard specifies methods for determining the binder content of the mastic asphalt. This is crucial to understand the composition and properties of the material.
Furthermore, the standard outlines methods for grading the aggregates used in mastic asphalt. The grading of aggregates is essential in determining the overall quality and suitability of the material for specific applications.
