This European Standard describes a procedure for calculating volumetric characteristics of a compacted
bituminous specimen: the air voids content (Vm), the voids content in the mineral aggregate filed with binder
(VFB) and the voids content in the mineral aggregate filed with binder and additives (VFBad) for the case of
mixtures containing additives in their composition.
The method is suitable for specimens which are laboratory compacted or specimens cut from the pavement after
placement and compacting, either by coring or sawing.
These volumetric characteristics can be used as mix design criteria or as parameters for evaluating the mixture
after placing and compacting in the road.
