National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 1367-5:2002, which is included in a package of new European Standards
being prepared by CEN/TC 154 relating to aggregates. Although the English
text versions of these European standards will be adopted as British Standards
as they become available, the existing British Standards for aggregates will be
retained, but only until such time that the completed package of European
standards becomes available. The original group of British Standards will then
be withdrawn and this will be announced in Update Standards.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of resistance to thermal shock of aggregates,
subject to heating and drying in the production of hot bituminous mixtures.

2 Normative references

This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).

EN 932-1, Tests for general properties of aggregates — Part 1: Methods for sampling.

EN 932-5, Tests for general properties of aggregates — Part 5: Common equipment and calibration.

EN 933-2, Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates — Part 2: Determination of particle size
distribution – Test sieves, nominal size of apertures.
EN 1097-2:1998, Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates — Part 2: Methods for the
determination of resistance to fragmentation.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
thermal shock
change in physical properties of aggregates subjected to 700 °C environment for a 3 min interval

3.2
test portion
sample used as a whole in a single test

3.3
constant mass
successive weighings after drying at least 1 h apart not differing by more than 0,1 %

NOTE In many cases constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a pre-determined period in a
specified oven at (110 ± 5) ° C. Test laboratories can determine the time required to achieve constant mass for specified types
and sizes of sample dependent on the drying capacity of the oven used.

4 Principle

The test involves heating soaked aggregates to 700 °C for 3 min and calculating the increase in undersize passing
the 5 mm sieve after thermal shock. The resistance to fragmentation is then determined in accordance with
EN 1097-2 on a sample after heating and the strength loss calculated by comparison with the result of a sample
which has not been heated.

6 Sampling

Sampling shall be in accordance with EN 932-1. The mass of the laboratory sample shall be large enough to allow
two strength tests to be carried out in accordance with EN 1097-2:1998, 5.2 or 6.2, as appropriate. One test portion
shall be tested without heating and one test portion shall be tested after exposure to thermal shock. Each test
portion shall be of the appropriate particle size fraction and mass, in accordance with EN 1097-2:1998, 5.2 or 6.2.

NOTE The size of the test portion exposed to thermal shock should be larger than that tested without heating, because
particles can degrade in the oven.

7 Procedure

7.1 Preparation of test portions

Wash and dry the test portions to constant mass. Weigh the first test portion and record the mass in grams as M1.

7.2 Exposure to thermal shock

Place the first test portion in a container and cover with deionised water to a depth of 20 mm above the aggregate
surface and allow to soak for (2 ± 0,5) h at room temperature.

Gently pour the aggregate and spread it out on the water absorbing cloth. Gently dry the aggregate with the free
ends of the cloth, until visibly surface dry.

Raise the furnace temperature to (700 ± 50) °C and maintain for the duration of the test period.

Heat the test plate in the furnace for at least 5 min, and remove and place on the heat resistant plate. Transfer an
increment of approximately 1 000 g of the prepared test portion with the scoop and spread evenly on the pre-
heated test plate. Cover the aggregate with the metal sieve fabric and immediately transfer the test plate and
contents to the furnace, close the door and allow the test portion to heat for (180 ± 5) s.

Remove the test plate from the furnace and place on the heat resistant plate. Quickly transfer the increment to the
receiver and allow to cool.

Repeat this procedure with 1 000 g increments.

The period between transferring the aggregate from the furnace to the receiver, and recharging the test plate with a
fresh increment, replacing in the furnace and closing the door, shall not exceed 20 s.

When the whole test portion has been taken from the furnace and transferred to the receiver, allow to cool to room
temperature. Sieve out the size fraction passing the 5 mm sieve and record the mass in grams as M2.

7.3 Determination of resistance to fragmentation

Determine the resistance to fragmentation on the test portion exposed to thermal shock in accordance with
EN 1097-2:1998, 5.3 or 6.3 as appropriate.

Repeat the same fragmentation test on the second test portion which has not been exposed to thermal shock.

 EN 1367-5:2002 (E)

8 Calculation and expression of results

Calculate the undersize (I) passing the 5 mm sieve due to exposure to thermal shock in accordance with the
following equation:

I = (M2/M1) x 100 (1)

where

I is the percentage of undersize due to thermal shock;

M1 is the initial mass of the test portion, in grams;
M2 is the mass of the undersize passing the 5 mm sieve, in grams.

Calculate the thermal shock resistance (VLA or Vsz) in accordance with either equation (2) or equation (3) as
appropriate, as follows:

VLA = LA2 – LA1 (2)

where

VLA is the loss in strength due to thermal shock;

LA1 is the Los Angeles coefficient without heating determined in accordance with
EN 1097-2:1998, 5.3;
LA2 is the Los Angeles coefficient after thermal shock determined in accordance with
EN 1097-2:1998, 5.3.

Vsz = SZ2 – SZ1 (3)

where

Vsz is the loss in strength due to thermal shock;

SZ1 is the impact value without heating determined in accordance with EN 1097-2:1998, 6.3;
SZ2 is the impact value after thermal shock determined in accordance with
EN 1097-2:1998, 6.3.

9 Test report

The test report shall include the following information:

a) reference to this European Standard;

b) sampling method and marking, type and origin of the laboratory samples;
c) shape (if determined), size, gradings and number of laboratory samples;
d) percentage of undersize passing the 5 mm sieve due to exposure to thermal shock,
expressed to he nearest 0,1 % by mass;
e) the type of strength test used;f) result of the difference, plus or minus, of the strength test (VLA or VSZ), due
to exposure to thermal shock;
g) date and name of laboratory.
