What is PD CEN/TS 13286-54 - HBM freeze-thaw resistance about?
If unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures are susceptible to constant freezing and thawing, then they create dangerous conditions for motorists and commuters.
PD CEN/TS 13286-54 serves specifications for unbound and hydraulically stabilized soils, enhancing the usability, application, and performance in road construction applications.
PD CEN/TS 13286-54 is the 54 th part of the ‘Unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures’ multi-series, specifies a test method for the determination of the resistance of a hydraulically bound mixture to the cyclic action of freezing and thawing.
The method described is suitable for hydraulically bound mixtures, including hydraulically stabilized soils, in accordance with BS EN 14227-1 to BS EN 14227-5 and the range of strengths covered by that standard.
When required, a method for determining the change in height of a hydraulically bound subject to freeze-thaw is also specified in PD CEN/TS 13286-54 . When required, a method for determining the freeze-thaw resistance of a hydraulically bound mixture in the presence of salt also is specified in PD CEN/TS 13286-54 .
