Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 24: Resistance to Fatigue
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-24 standard outlines the methods for assessing the fatigue resistance of bituminous mixtures. The standard provides alternative tests, including bending tests, direct tensile tests, and indirect tensile tests, which are conducted on compacted bituminous material subjected to sinusoidal or controlled loading.
The purpose of these tests is to evaluate the fatigue resistance of bituminous mixtures and rank them accordingly, determine their relative performance in pavements, obtain data for predicting their structural behavior in roads, and assess their compliance with specifications. The standard does not prescribe a specific testing device but allows for flexibility in selecting the appropriate test conditions based on the capabilities of the device used.
It is important to consider the requirements of the product standards for bituminous mixtures when determining the specific test conditions. The applicability of this standard is further detailed in the product standards for bituminous mixtures.
