Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 34: Marshall Test
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-34 standard outlines a test method used to determine the stability, flow, and Marshall Quotient values of bituminous mixtures. The specimens being tested are mixed in accordance with the EN 12697-35 standard and prepared using the impact compactor method outlined in EN 12697-30. This test method is specifically applicable to dense graded asphalt concrete and hot rolled asphalt.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized procedure for evaluating the performance characteristics of bituminous mixtures, particularly in terms of stability and flow. The stability refers to the resistance of the mixture to deformation under load, while flow refers to the ability of the mixture to flow under load. These properties are crucial in assessing the quality and suitability of bituminous mixtures for various applications.
