1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) test method to determine the tensile
strength or fracture toughness of an asphalt mixture for the assessment of the potential for crack propagation.
The results of the test can be used to calculate:
 the maximum load that the material containing a notch (crack) can resist before failure;
 when the presence of a notch is critical.
It should be noted that the test only describes a method to determine the resistance to crack propagation of an
asphalt mixture. The crack propagation phase describes the second part of failure mechanism during dynamic
loading. The first phase, which is the crack initiation phase, is mainly covered by the fatigue test
(EN 12697-24).

σ Stress in newtons per square millimetre (N/mm²)
σhor Horizontal stress in newtons per square millimetre (N/mm²)

5 Principle
A half cylinder test piece with a centre crack is loaded in three-point bending in such a way that the middle of
the base of the test piece is subjected to a tensile stress. During the test, the deformation increases at a
constant rate of 5 mm/min. The corresponding load increases to a maximum value, Fmax, that is directly
related to the fracture toughness of the test sample. In Figure 1 an example of the test frame and specimen is
given.
