Determination of Shear Strength between Different Layers of Multilayer Components Made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
BS EN 1742:1998 is a standard that outlines a procedure for determining the shear strength between different layers of multilayer components made of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure. The standard focuses on testing the interlayer shear strength by applying a horizontal load to the bottom layer while it is resisted by the top layer.
The objective of this standard is to provide a reliable and standardized method for evaluating the shear strength between different layers of these multilayer components. By determining the shear strength, manufacturers and construction professionals can ensure that the layers of these components can effectively resist horizontal forces and maintain structural integrity.
This standard helps in establishing a consistent testing procedure that can be applied across different projects, allowing for accurate comparisons of shear strength values between different multilayer components. This information is critical for ensuring the proper design, construction, and performance of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete components in various applications, such as walls, floors, or roofs.
