Determination of Flexural Strength of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
BS EN 1521:1997 is a standard that provides a detailed methodology for determining the flexural strength of lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure. The standard outlines a specific testing procedure that involves the use of a simply supported prismatic test specimen under two-point loading.
The purpose of this standard is to establish a consistent and reliable method for evaluating the flexural strength of lightweight aggregate concrete. By using a prismatic test specimen and applying a two-point loading system, the standard ensures that the testing conditions are well-defined and controlled.
The standard specifies the dimensions and preparation of the test specimen, as well as the procedure for applying the load. It provides guidelines for measuring the deflection and determining the flexural strength of the concrete based on the applied load and the resulting deflection.
