Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 56: Specimen Preparation by Static Compaction
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-56 standard, also known as "Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 56: Specimen Preparation by Static Compaction," outlines a procedure for preparing specimens of bituminous mixtures for testing. The standard specifies the use of a cylindrical mold to compact a specific mass of bituminous mixture. The compaction process involves applying static compression loads to the top and bottom of the specimen.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the prepared specimens are representative of the bituminous mixture being tested. By using a cylindrical mold and static compaction, the standard aims to simulate the conditions that the mixture will experience in real-life applications. This enables accurate and reliable testing of the bituminous mixture's properties and performance.
