This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the maximum dry density and water content of cohesionless materials when compacted using a vibrating table. The method utilizes vibratory compaction to obtain maximum density under saturated conditions.
Materials for which this method is applicable may contain up to 12 % by mass fines (< 0,063 mm). The maximum particle size of the materials to be tested is 80 mm.
This method applies to mixtures to be used in road construction.
