Performance Test for Prefabricated Reinforced Components Made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure Under Predominantly Longitudinal Load (Vertical Components)
Also Known As:
The BS EN 1740:1998 standard provides a framework for testing the performance of prefabricated reinforced components made of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure. Specifically, it focuses on vertical components that are predominantly subjected to longitudinal loads.
The purpose of the standard is to evaluate the structural integrity of these components by simulating real-life conditions. The testing method involves supporting the component in a vertical position and applying a load with the necessary eccentricity, or off-center force, until the component collapses.
By subjecting the component to this destructive testing, the standard aims to verify its strength and durability under longitudinal loading conditions. This information is essential for ensuring the safe and reliable performance of prefabricated reinforced components made of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete in real-world applications.
