32、ed test conditions 3.2 cylindrical specimen laboratory-made (e.g. gyratory or impact-compacted) cylindrical moulded specimen or core taken from a bituminous layer or slab BS EN 1269723:2017EN 12697-23:2017 (E) 5 4 Principle The cylindrical specimen to be tested is brought to the specified test tempe
33、rature, placed in the compression testing machine between the loading strips, and loaded diametrically along the direction of the cylinder axis with a constant speed of displacement until it breaks. The indirect tensile strength is the maximum tensile stress calculated from the peak load applied at
34、break and the dimensions of the specimen. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Compression testing machine Compression testing machine, Marshall-type conforming to EN 12697-34, or similar apparatus, having a recommended minimum capacity of 28 kN and capable of applying loads to test specimens at a constant rate of defor
35、mation of (50 2) mm/min after a transitory period less than 20 % of the loading time. The rate of deformation shall be maintained. When the test is conducted at low temperatures, on stiff asphalt samples as/or on specimens with diameter of 150 mm or 160 mm, the loading capacity of 28 kN may not be s
36、ufficient in order to reach the indirect tensile strength. In these cases, test devices of higher load capacity can be used. 5.2 Testing head with loading strips Testing head for indirect tensile strength test equipped with loading strips of hardened steel having a concave surface with a radius of c
37、urvature corresponding to the nominal radius of the specimen (see Figure 1). Loading strips for testing of cylindrical specimens shall have a radius of curvature fitting the specimen under test and a width as shown in Table 1. Table 1 Requirements for loading strips Dimensions mm Specimen diameter (
38、mm) 80 2 100 3 120 3 150 3 160 3 Loading strip width, W (mm) 10,2 0,1 12,7 0,2 15,2 0,2 19,1 0,2 20,0 0,2 Maximum height difference at the curved side of the loading strip, h (mm) 0,33 0,40 0,48 0,61 0,63 Dimensions for the curved side are not exactly specified as narrow tolerances could require loa
39、ding strip replacement after very few tests. As the importance of exactly fitting loading strips is not considered essential, slightly larger curvature of loading strips may ease the specimen placement. The loading strips shall have a length of at least equal to the height of the specimen to be test
40、ed. It is recommended that the edges of the loading strips are rounded by grinding to remove the sharp edges in order not to cut the sample during testing. The upper testing head shall be guided to ensure a parallel movement of the loading strips. The upper head may be carried by a spring just capab
41、le of carrying the head to facilitate the handling of the device.

42、and test specimen 5.3 Measuring device Measuring device capable of determining load to an accuracy of 0,2 kN. 5.4 Water bath Water bath, thermostatically controlled, or air chamber, capable of maintaining the test temperature as selected according to 8 with an accuracy of 1 C in the vicinity of the
43、sample. 5.5 Soft plastic bags Soft plastic bags or other suitable devices for watertight protection of specimens (only required for water bath conditioning). 6 Sample preparation 6.1 Number of specimen At least three specimens shall be prepared for each sample and condition tested. 6.2 Dimensions of
44、 test specimen The cylindrical test specimens shall have a diameter of (80 2) mm, (100 3) mm, (120 3) mm, (150 3) mm or (160 3) mm. BS EN 1269723:2017EN 12697-23:2017 (E) 7 For specimens with: 80 mm nominal diameter, the maximum aggregate size of the bituminous mixture shall not exceed 11 mm; 100 mm
45、 nominal diameter, the maximum aggregate size shall not exceed 22 mm; 120 mm nominal diameter, the aggregate size shall not exceed 31,5 mm; 150 mm and 160 mm nominal diameter, the maximum aggregate size shall not exceed 40 mm. The specimens shall be cylindrical moulded specimens, laboratory-produced
46、 in accordance with EN 12697-30, EN 12697-31 or EN 12697-32, or cores taken from a bituminous slab produced in accordance with EN 12697-33, or cores taken from a bituminous layer in accordance with EN 12697-27. The specimens shall (unless otherwise specified) have a height of between 35 mm and 75 mm
47、. 6.3 Visual examination The specimens shall visually be symmetrical with the curved side even and circular. 6.4 Measurement of dimensions The height and diameter of each test specimen shall be measured in accordance with EN 12697-29. 6.5 Age of Specimen Prior to the start of testing, the specimens
48、shall be stored on a flat surface at a temperature of not more than 25 C for between 48 hours and 42 days from the time of their manufacture. NOTE The storage time influences the mechanical properties of the specimen. For purposes other than type testing, different storage times can be applied. 7 Co
49、nditioning 7.1 Thermal treatment Bring the test specimen to the test temperature selected according to 8 by placing it either: in a water bath, protecting the specimen from the water by enclosing it in a sealed soft plastic bag or other suitable watertight protection and ensuring that that the watertight protection is pressed closely to the surface of the specimen in order to allow adequate heat transmission; or in a thermostatically control
