Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part 51: Interlayer Bonding (Compressed shear bond test - CSBT, Cyclic compressed shear bond test - CCSBT). prCEN/TS 12697-51

Scope

This draft Specification specifies test methods for determining the bond strength between an asphalt layer and other construction layers in road or airfield pavement. The tests can also be applied on laboratory prepared interlayers. Further informative test methods are defined for evaluating the complex bond stiffness between road construction layers.
