Bitumen und bitumenhaltige Bindemittel - MSCR-Prüfung (Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery Test); Deutsche Fassung EN 16659:2015
Overview
This document has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 336 "Bituminous binders", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). The responsible German committee is Joint Committee NA 062-03-32 GA "Bitumen; Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen für die Bindemittel" of the Standards Committees Materials Testing (NMP) and Building and Civil Engineering (NABau) at DIN. This test method covers the determination of percent recovery and non-recoverable creep compliance of bitumen and bituminous binders by means of Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery (MSCR) testing. The MSCR test is conducted using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) in creep mode at a specified temperature.
