1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the flexural creep stiffness of bitumen and bituminous binders in the range of 30 MPa to 1 GPa by means of the
bending beam rheometer.
The method can be applied to a variety of bitumens, including unmodified as well as
modified binders, as fresh (unused) binders, as well as binders after laboratory ageing
conditioning (e.g. EN 12607‑1, EN 14769), and also binders that have been recovered from asphalt mixtures.
