Automobile roads of general use. Viscous petroleum road bitumens. Method of determination tensile properties

This standard outlines the methodology for determining the tensile properties of modified bitumen used in road construction. It specifies the procedures for testing the elongation characteristics of bitumen using a force extension method. The standard provides detailed guidelines on sample preparation, testing equipment, and measurement techniques to ensure consistency and reliability in the evaluation of bitumen performance. It covers the necessary conditions and parameters required to conduct the tests accurately. The standard is applicable to bitumen used in general-purpose road applications and aims to establish a uniform approach for assessing the mechanical behavior of modified bitumen under various conditions.
