Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 36: Determination of the Thickness of Bituminous Pavement
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-36 standard focuses on the testing methods for determining the thickness of bituminous pavement. It outlines two different approaches for conducting these measurements.
The first method involves taking one or more cores from the full depth of the pavement structure. This is a destructive method as it involves drilling through the pavement. The cores are then measured to determine their thickness, providing information about the overall thickness of the bituminous pavement.
The second method mentioned in the standard is a non-destructive approach that utilizes electro-magnetic measurements. This method is conducted without the need for drilling or removing any part of the pavement. Instead, specialized equipment is used to measure the thickness of the bituminous layer using electromagnetic waves. This offers a faster and non-intrusive alternative to determine the thickness of bituminous pavement.
