GOST 12801-98 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 12801-98 — "Materials on the basis of organic binders for road and airfield construction. Test methods." This standard specifies standardized laboratory test methods for asphalt mixtures, organo‑mineral mixes, soils stabilized with organic binders and asphalt concrete that are used in pavements and bases for highways, airfields, urban streets, squares and industrial roads.

Abstract

GOST 12801-98 establishes procedures and requirements for sampling and for a set of physical and mechanical tests used to assess materials that contain organic (polymeric/bituminous or other organic) binders intended for road and airfield construction. The standard covers determination of density and porosity, water absorption and water saturation, strength under compression, tensile strength by splitting, flexural strength and deformation characteristics, frost and moisture resistance, and related preparatory and conditioning procedures for specimens.

Scope

The standard applies to asphalt concrete mixtures, organo‑mineral mixtures, soils stabilized with organic binders and asphalt concrete that are intended for use in coverings and bases of automobile roads, airfields, city streets and squares, and industrial roads. It defines sampling rules, specimen preparation and test methods to determine the principal properties required for design, quality control and acceptance testing of these materials.

Key topics and requirements

• Sampling procedures and specimen preparation for mixtures and stabilized soils.
• Determination of bulk density and apparent (average) density (pycnometric and immersion methods).
• Measurement of porosity and voids in asphalt and organo‑mineral mixtures.
• Water absorption, water saturation and procedures for vacuum saturation.
• Tests for compressive strength and load‑bearing capacity of specimens.
• Tensile strength by splitting (indirect tensile) and tensile/flexural strength tests.
• Deformation characteristics and procedures for recording strain and deflection during load tests.
• Frost resistance and moisture/durability assessments for materials with organic binders.
• Conditioning, temperature control and reporting requirements for reproducible test results.

Typical use and users

GOST 12801-98 is used by materials testing laboratories, road and airfield design engineers, contractors and quality control personnel, manufacturers and suppliers of organo‑binder products, certification and conformity assessment bodies, and research institutions developing or evaluating polymer‑modified and other organic‑bound pavement materials. It is used for incoming material verification, mixture design verification, acceptance testing and research.

Related standards

The standard references and is used alongside a range of other GOST and GOST‑R norms for road materials and testing. Typical related documents include standards for bitumen/asphalt binders, aggregate characterization, water testing, and other pavement material test methods (examples historically cited with this standard include several GOST and GOST‑R documents on bituminous materials, aggregate and general test methods). It also sits within the broader family of GOSTs addressing stabilized soils and pavement structural materials.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers sampling, specimen preparation, conditioning and standardized test procedures to determine density, porosity, water absorption/saturation, mechanical strengths (compression, tensile/splitting, flexural), deformation properties and durability (including frost and moisture resistance) of asphalt mixtures, organo‑mineral mixes and soils stabilized with organic binders.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Materials testing laboratories, pavement designers, road and airfield contractors, material suppliers, certification bodies and research organizations concerned with quality control and evaluation of organic‑binder pavement materials.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard was introduced effective 01 January 1999 (designation -98).
