DIN EN 12697-10 PDF Download

The DIN EN 12697-10 standard provides guidelines for determining the compactability of bituminous mixtures. The standard outlines three test methods that assess the relationship between the compaction energy applied to the mixture and its resulting density or void content. The three methods include using an impact (Marshall) compactor, a gyratory compactor, or a vibratory compactor.

This standard applies to various types of bituminous mixtures, including those prepared in the laboratory as well as those obtained from plant-produced mixtures. The test results obtained from these methods are used in conjunction with mixture design results, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the compactability of the bituminous mixture.

By providing standardized test methods, the DIN EN 12697-10 standard ensures consistency and accuracy in assessing the compactability of bituminous mixtures. This information is crucial for determining the effectiveness of the mixture in practical applications and aids in improving the overall quality and performance of bituminous materials.
