Determination of Shear Strength for Out-of-Plane Forces of Joints Between Prefabricated Components Made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
BS EN 1741:1998 is a standard that outlines a method for determining the shear strength of joints between prefabricated components made of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure. The standard focuses specifically on the out-of-plane forces of these joints.
The testing method involves applying vertical loading to the top surface of a horizontally positioned component. This simulates real-life conditions and allows for the accurate determination of shear strength. By conducting tests according to this standard, manufacturers and engineers can ensure that the joints between these types of prefabricated components meet the required strength specifications.
This standard is essential for the construction industry as it provides a reliable and standardized testing method specifically designed for prefabricated components made of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure.
