This standard BS EN 14771:2023 Bitumen and bituminous binders. Determination of the flexural creep stiffness. Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) is classified in these ICS categories:
75.140 Waxes, bituminous materials and other petroleum products
91.100.50 Binders. Sealing materials
This document specifies a method for the determination of the flexural creep stiffness of bitumen and bituminous binders in the range of 30 MPa to 1 GPa by means of the bending beam rheometer. The method can be applied to a variety of bitumens, including unmodified as well as modified binders, as fresh (unused) binders, as well as binders after laboratory ageing conditioning (e.g. EN 12607-1, EN 14769), and also binders that have been recovered from asphalt mixtures.
