BS EN 13108-9:2016

Comprehensive Specification for Bituminous Mixtures

BS EN 13108-9:2016 is the essential standard for specifying bituminous mixtures used in a wide range of civil engineering applications. This British Standard, identical to the European EN 13108-9:2016, provides detailed technical requirements and test methods to ensure the quality, performance, and safety of bituminous materials.

Ensure Compliance with European Standards

Compliance with BS EN 13108-9:2016 is crucial for civil engineering projects across the UK and Europe. This standard aligns with the overarching EN 13108 series, allowing for the harmonization of bituminous mixture specifications and facilitating cross-border trade and project collaboration.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications

BS EN 13108-9:2016 covers a comprehensive range of technical requirements for bituminous mixtures, including:

• Material Composition: Detailed specifications for the composition and properties of bituminous binders, aggregates, and other constituents.
• Mixture Design: Requirements for the design and formulation of bituminous mixtures, including target composition, void content, and resistance to deformation.
• Production and Laying: Specifications for the production, transport, and laying of bituminous mixtures to ensure consistent quality and performance.
• Testing and Evaluation: Comprehensive test methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of bituminous mixtures.

Ensure Quality and Safety in Civil Engineering Projects

By adhering to the requirements of BS EN 13108-9:2016, civil engineering professionals can be confident that the bituminous mixtures used in their projects will meet the highest standards of quality, performance, and safety. This standard helps to:

• Ensure the long-term durability and serviceability of bituminous pavements, roads, and other civil engineering structures.
• Minimize the risk of premature failure or deterioration, reducing maintenance costs and disruptions.
• Protect the safety of road users and the general public by specifying materials that meet stringent safety requirements.
• Facilitate the use of sustainable and environmentally-friendly bituminous mixtures, such as those containing recycled materials.

Comprehensive Technical Guidance for Civil Engineering Professionals

BS EN 13108-9:2016 is an essential reference for civil engineers, contractors, and other professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of bituminous-based civil engineering projects. By ensuring compliance with this standard, you can deliver high-quality, durable, and safe bituminous mixtures that meet the demands of modern civil engineering.
