Unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures - Part 2: Test Methods for Laboratory Reference Density and Water Content - Proctor Compaction
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13286-2 standard outlines the procedures for determining the relationship between water content and dry density of unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures. The test is conducted using Proctor compaction under specific conditions.
This standard is specifically applicable to aggregates used in road construction and civil engineering work. It is not intended for soils used in earthworks. The results obtained from this test method provide an estimate of the density that can be achieved on construction sites and serve as a reference parameter for evaluating the density of the compacted mixture layer.
The test method allows mixtures to be compared prior to their use in road construction, helping to establish quality control measures. Additionally, it provides information on the water content required to achieve a desired dry density during compaction. The test is suitable for mixtures with upper sieve sizes up to 63 mm and an oversize of up to 25% by mass.
