Concrete Pavements - Part 4: Test Methods for the Determination of Wear Resistance of Concrete Pavements to Studded Tyres
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13863-4 standard specifies a test method for determining the wear resistance of concrete pavements to studded tires. This method can be applied to both specimens cut from actual concrete pavements and laboratory-molded specimens. It should be noted that this test method is specifically designed for the finished concrete product and not for the individual aggregate materials used.
The standard considers three different configurations of the test equipment, including one that utilizes truck wheels and two others that use car wheels. These configurations allow for a comprehensive evaluation of the wear resistance of concrete pavements under different vehicle types.
Further details and information on the precision of this test method can be found in the report by the Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute, titled "Ring Analysis of Nordic Road Simulators: Proposal for a Common Test Method for the Determination of the Wear Resistance of Concrete Pavements," which is referenced in the standard's bibliography. This report provides additional insights into the methodology and accuracy of the test.
