BS EN 16659:2015 covers the determination of percent recovery and non-recoverable creep
compliance of bitumen and bituminous binders by means of Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery (MSCR)
testing. The MSCR test is conducted using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) in creep mode at a specified
temperature.The percent recovery at multiple stress levels is intended to determine the presence of elastic
response and stress dependence of bituminous binders.The non-recoverable creep compliance at multiple stress levels is intended as an indicator for the
sensitivity to permanent deformation and stress dependence of bituminous binders.This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with
its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Cross References:EN 58EN 12594EN 12597EN 14770ISO 5725-2:1994All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
