Sampling and Examination of Bituminous Mixtures for Roads and Other Paved Areas: Method for Determination of Resistance to Permanent Deformation of Bituminous Mixtures Subject to Unconfined Uniaxial Loading
Also Known As:
The BS 598-111:1995 standard is a method for determining the resistance to permanent deformation of bituminous mixtures subjected to unconfined uniaxial loading. It involves a static load compression test that simulates the conditions that bituminous mixtures experience in roads and other paved areas.
The standard provides guidelines on the sampling and examination of bituminous mixtures to ensure accurate and consistent testing. It specifies the equipment and testing procedures necessary to carry out the unconfined uniaxial loading test.
The purpose of this test is to assess the performance characteristics of bituminous mixtures under sustained load, as the resistance to permanent deformation is a crucial factor in determining the durability and longevity of road surfaces.
