Unbound and Hydraulically Bound Mixtures - Part 4: Test Methods for Laboratory Reference Density and Water Content - Vibrating Hammer
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13286-4 standard provides a method for determining the relationship between the dry density and moisture content of a mixture using a vibrating hammer. It is specifically applicable to mixtures used in road construction, with a maximum allowable mass of 30% retained on the 20 mm test sieve.
This standard aims to establish a standardized procedure for testing compacted mixtures, ensuring consistent results and enabling accurate comparisons between different mixtures. By utilizing a vibrating hammer, the method ensures that the mixture is properly compacted, thereby mimicking actual field conditions.
The primary parameters being measured and analyzed in this standard are the dry density and moisture content of the mixture. These parameters are critical for assessing the suitability of a mixture for road construction, as they impact the overall strength, durability, and performance characteristics of the material.
