Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 36: Determination of the Thickness of Bituminous Pavement
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-36 standard provides guidelines for determining the thickness of bituminous pavement. The standard comprises two test methods, each serving a distinct purpose.
The first method involves the use of core drilling to obtain one or multiple samples from the full depth of the pavement. These samples are then measured to determine the thickness of the bituminous layer. This method is referred to as the destructive method since it involves the extraction of samples from the pavement.
The second method, referred to as non-destructive, employs electromagnetic measurements to determine the thickness of the bituminous pavement. This method allows for measurements to be taken without the need for core drilling or any damage to the pavement.
