    © ISME, MEST EN 13286-2:2012 4 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the relationship between the water content and the dry density of hydraulically bound or unbound mixtures after compaction under specified test conditions using Proctor compaction. It allows an estimate of the mixture density that can be achieved on construction sites and provides a reference parameter for assessing the density of the compacted layer of the This European Standard applies only to unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures of aggregates used in road. construction and civil engineering work. It is not applicable to soils for earthworks. The results of this test method can be used as a basis for comparing mixtures before use in road construction. The test results also allow a conclusion to be drawn as to the water content at which mixtures can be satisfactorily compacted in order to achieve a given dry density ‘This test is suitable for mixtures with different values of upper sieve (0) size up to 63 mm and an oversize up to 25 % by mass, 2 Normative references The following referenced docurients are indispensable for the application of this document.

The assessment of these factors is covered in 6.3, For the compaction test separate batches of mixture shall be prepared at different water contents, Each batch shall be compacted only once NOTE If the same batch of mixture is used at different water contents, the characteristics of the material will progressively change after each compaction stage, particularly for mtures where the particles are susceptible to crushing 6.3. Preliminary assessment 6.3.1. The initial mixture sample for testing shall be obtained in accordance with the procedure described in EN 13286-1. The procedure to be used for sample preparation and for carrying out the compaction test shall be selected on the basis of the assessment in 6.3.2 and 6.3.3, 6.3.2 Determine the approximate percentages (to an accuracy of + 5%) by mass of particles in the mixture sample passing the 16 mm, 31.5 mm or 63 mm test sieves using the sieving procedures in EN 933-1. The ‘material used for this assessment shall not be used for the compaction test 6.3.3 Use these percentages to select the method of sample preparation, the minimum mass of mixture required, and the type of mould to use for the compaction test as indicated in Table 4, 6.4 Mixtures totally passing the 16 mm test sieve Subdivide the initial sample to produce five or more representative samples, each of about 2,6 kg for mould A and 6 kg for mould B, according to EN 13286-1 ‘Mix each sample thoroughly with different amounts of water to give a suitable range of water contents (see NOTES 1 to 4). The range of water contents shall be such that at least two values lies each side of the ‘optimum at which the maximum dry density occurs. NOTE 1 The amount of water to be mixed with mixture at the commencement of the test will vary with the type of rmiature under test. In general, wth sandy and gravely mixtures a water content of 4% to 6 % is suitable, NOTE 2 The water added to each sample should be such that a range of water contents is obtained which includes the ‘optimum water content. In general, increments of 1 % to 2 % are suitable for sandy and gravely mixtures. To increase the accuracy of the test it might be desirable to prepare samples with smaller increments of water in the region of optimum \water content. Three or four water contents should be included in the range 0,8 and 1,2 of the optimum water content. NOTE 3 _Itis important that the water is mixed thoroughly and adequately with the mixture, since inadequate mixing can dive variable test results NOTE 4 Recycled aggregates and slags are often more porous than natural aggregates. A higher value of water Content and larger increments may be appropriate If the mixture initially contains too much water allow it to partially air dry to the lowest water content at which the mixture is to be compacted, and mix thoroughly.

To reach the selected water content (see NOTES 1 and 2), add approximately 3 % (by mass) water to the dry material and mix thoroughly with the scoop until a homogenous mixture is obtained. Then add portions of 1% (by mass) water unti the estimated selected water content is reached, NOTE 1 The selected water content is the water content, when, with the applied compaction energy, no increase of density is obtained when water is added. In most cases, independent from the kind of material, when this water content is eached, some free water will occur after compaction NOTE 2 The test report should also record whether any free water was noted after compaction During the mixing observe the following features: if the water is well penetrated in the mixture; Le. all particles are moistened, — ifthe material sticks to the mixing bow! and the bottom of the bow! remains wet, — iflitte strips of wet material remain on the bottom of the bowl depending on the material, if particles glisten Prevent the material from drying Compact the mixed material in the mould in three equal layers, each with a height of approximately 40 mm While pouring the material into the mould prevent segregation.
