BS EN 13108-6 discusses material specifications of bituminous mixtures. BS EN 13108-6 specifies requirements for mixtures of the mixed group mastic asphalt for use on roads, airfields, and other trafficked areas. Mastic asphalt is used for surface courses, binder courses, protection layers, and inter-layers for bridges, tunnels, and troughs.
BS EN 13108-6 includes requirements for the selection of the constituent materials.
Note1: The mixtures of the mixed group Mastic Asphalt are produced on the basis of hot bitumen. Mixtures utilizing bitumen emulsion and bituminous materials based on in situ recycling are not covered by BS EN 13108-6.
Note2: BS EN 13108-6 is designed to be read in conjunction with EN 13108-20 and EN 13108-21.
BS EN 13108-6 on the material specifications - mastic asphalt is useful for:
Mastic Asphalt is one of the oldest construction products, and the oldest waterproofing membrane system, in use for centuries.
The aim of BS EN 13108-6 is to enable the specification of mastic asphalt mixtures on a performance basis. BS EN 13108-6 covers a large variety of materials for different applications, traffic, and climate conditions. BS EN 13108-6 also gives properties and listings of possible categories. The menu approach for properties has been chosen so as to accommodate the road industry for all of Europe.
BS EN 13108-3 helps you in the production of mastic asphalt with the right composition proportion and properties which ensure quality and reliable product.
