This document describes test methods (method A and method B) for determining abrasion by studded tyres, tested on cylindrical specimens of bituminous mixtures.
NOTE 1 Method A originates from the ‘Prall’ method, which has been improved by comprehensive research work. According to Swedish research work, the method correlates with abrasion in the field. Method B originates from Finnish experience and correlates with abrasion in the field.
NOTE 2 According to Nordic experiences the correlation between laboratory and abrasion in field is not established when polymer modified bitumen or rubber etc. is used.
