BS EN 1052-2:2016 PDF Download

BS EN 1052-2:2016 is a European standard that provides a method for determining the flexural strength of small masonry specimens. The standard covers the testing of masonry for two principal axes of loading. It offers guidance on various aspects, including specimen preparation, conditioning prior to testing, testing machine requirements, the actual testing method, calculation methods, and the necessary contents of the test report.

The standard outlines the procedures that should be followed when preparing the specimens for testing. It also emphasizes the importance of conditioning the specimens appropriately before subjecting them to the flexural strength test. Furthermore, it provides details regarding the type of testing machine that should be used and the method for conducting the test.

BS EN 1052-2:2016 also specifies the calculations that should be performed to determine the flexural strength of the masonry specimens. These calculations are essential for assessing the structural properties of the tested material accurately. Finally, the standard highlights the key information that should be included in the test report, ensuring clear documentation of the results and methodology followed during the test.
