Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part 32: Laboratory compaction of bituminous mixtures by vibratory compactor

Scope

This European Standard describes a test method for the preparation of bituminous test specimens using a vibratory compaction technique. The test specimens can include compaction with a vibratory slab compactor from which smaller samples can be cored if required.
This European Standard is applicable to loose mixtures and cores and is used to establish a reference density for a bituminous mixture in accordance with the procedures described in prEN 13108-20, or the ease of compaction as described in EN 12697-10.
