<strong>LPC</strong> <strong>Bituminous</strong> <strong>Mixtures</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>– Appendix G - Glossary –TermSymbol orAbbreviationUnitDefinitionCommentswhich the results of independent tests areobtained using the same method onidentical test specimens, in the samelaboratory, by the same operator, inemploying the same equipment and over ashort span of time.RepeatabilitylimitrValue below which the absolute value ofthe difference between two test results lies,with 95% probability, as obtainedaccording to repeatability conditions.ReproducibilityReliability of measures under conditions ofreproducibility, i.e.: conditions according towhich test results are obtained using thesame method on identical test specimens,in different laboratories, by differentoperators, in employing differentequipment.ISO 5725ReproducibilitylimitRValue below which the absolute value ofthe difference between two test results lies,with 95% probability, as obtainedaccording to reproducibility conditions.Richness modulusConventionalspecific surfaceareaΣm 2 /kg Determined by the following relation:100 Σ = 0,25 G + 2,3 S + 12 s + 150 f, with:G proportion of elements larger than6,3 mm,S proportion of elements lying between6,3 mm and 0,250 mm in size,s proportion of elements between0,250 mm and 0,063 mmf proportion of elements smaller than0,063 mmThis calculation isnot applicablewhen the mixturecontains eitherspecial fines oradditives, suchas fibers.Richness modulusCorrectioncoefficientα α = 2,65 / ρ Gwith ρ Gbeing the aggregatemass density in terms of grams per cubiccentimeter.This coefficient isemployed inparticular tocalculate bitumencontents on thebasis of therichnessmodulus.- 191 -
