Road and Airfield Surface Characteristics - Test Methods - Part 8: Determination of Transverse Unevenness Indices
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13036-8 standard provides guidelines for determining the transverse unevenness indices of road and airfield surfaces. These indices are used to evaluate the quality and condition of pavement surfaces.
The standard defines the different transverse unevenness indices and the methods of evaluation and reporting. It focuses on three main purposes: quality control of newly laid pavements, evaluation of pavement condition in routine monitoring programs, and assessing the need for resurfacing on existing pavements.
The standard emphasizes that the indices are applicable to both roads and airfields and are independent of the measurement device used. The parameters and evaluation methods outlined in the standard aim to detect transverse deformations caused by factors such as traffic, pavement wear, or subsurface movement.
