Testing Hardened Concrete: Making and Curing Specimens for Strength Tests
Also Known As:
The BS EN 12390-2:2019 standard provides guidelines and procedures for the preparation and curing of test specimens used in strength tests for hardened concrete. The standard covers various aspects of the specimen preparation process, including the filling of moulds, compaction of concrete, levelling the surface, and curing methods.
The standard emphasizes the importance of proper specimen preparation to ensure accurate and reliable strength test results. It provides detailed instructions on the correct procedures and techniques to be followed during the making and curing of specimens. This includes recommendations for factors such as temperature, humidity, and duration of the curing process to ensure adequate strength development.
Furthermore, the standard highlights that the methods specified can also be used for making and curing specimens for other test methods, indicating its broader applicability. This demonstrates the versatility and usefulness of the standard in the field of concrete testing.
