Standard EN Sample
Determination of Shear Strength for In-Plane Forces of Joints between Prefabricated Components of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
BS EN 1739:2007 is a standard that focuses on determining the shear strength of joints between prefabricated components made of either autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) or lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure (LAC). The standard provides detailed methods for conducting tests to assess the ability of these joints to withstand in-plane forces.
The standard specifically outlines the requirements for conducting the shear strength tests, specifying the type of materials that should be used (AAC or LAC), as well as the relevant European standards that these materials must adhere to. This ensures that the testing methods are consistent and standardized across different regions.
By establishing the procedures for determining shear strength, BS EN 1739:2007 provides valuable guidance for engineers and manufacturers in the construction industry. It helps to ensure that joints between prefabricated components made of AAC or LAC are capable of withstanding the forces they may encounter in practical applications, thereby contributing to the overall stability and safety of structures.
