Scope
This document specifies the characteristics of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in unbound and hydraulically bound materials for civil engineering works and road constructions.
It covers aggregates having an oven-dried particle density greater than 2,00 Mg/m3. It also covers recycled and manufactured aggregates with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3.
NOTE 1 Assessment of the density of recycled aggregates is typically carried out on coarse fractions.
NOTE 2 Lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055.
NOTE 3 Unbound mixtures for road constructions are specified in EN 13285. EN 13285 does call up EN 13242.
The use of aggregates as soil is not covered by this standard.
NOTE 4 Due to huge variation of geological and pedological conditions in Europe, precise definition of soil can be found in the documents related to the application in the place of use.
Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of aggregates to this document are given in EN 16236.
Aggregates used in construction are meant to comply with all the relevant European standards for aggregates. These standards include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, manufactured and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constituents of recycled aggregates.
