What is PD CEN/TS 17693‑2 about?
PD CEN/TS 17693‑2 is the second part in the multi-series that is applicable to the earthworks for soil treatment tests.
PD CEN/TS 17693‑2 describes the reference method for the determination of the Index of Dust Emission (IDE) in soil treatment for earthworks.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17693‑2 for?
PD CEN/TS 17693‑2 on IDE is relevant to:
- Civil engineers
- Geotechnical engineers
- Land/soil assessment agencies
- Landscape/soil remediation professionals
Why should you use CEN/TS 17693‑1?
Earthworks are essential for road and traffic route construction, railway construction, water engineering, landfill, and tunnel development. Professional earthworks necessitate good preliminary construction design, soil research, and, depending on the project's complexity, a stability analysis.
PD CEN/TS 17693-2 defines a laboratory test method for determining the ability of a material derived from a dry mineral treatment to emit dust during various stages of a soil treatment for earthworks operation (stocking and destocking of the product on the job site, spreading, and mixing).
IDE test method described under PD CEN/TS 17693-2 consists of calculating the percentage of dust carried by air passing over a broad layer of the product on the sieve, accurate assessment of which can provide indication on the health of soil, and ultimately on the structural integrity of your engineering works.
