Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 10: Compactability FprEN 12697-10

Publication date:   Sep 10, 2026

Scope

This document describes three test methods for characterizing the compactability of a bituminous mixture, by the relation between its density or void content and the compaction energy applied to it, using an impact (Marshall) compactor, gyratory compactor, or a vibratory compactor.
This document applies to bituminous mixtures, both those prepared in laboratory and those resulting sampled from plant produced mixtures. The results of the test method serve to supplement the results of mixture design.
