Standard EN Sample
Performance Test for Prefabricated Reinforced Components of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure under Transverse Load
Also Known As:
The BS EN 1356:1997 standard entails a performance test designed to evaluate the behavior of prefabricated reinforced components made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) with an open structure when subjected to transverse loads. The test is conducted using a two-point loading system to assess deflection, cracking, and load-bearing capacity.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure the structural integrity and strength of AAC and LWAC prefabricated components, which are commonly used in construction applications. By subjecting these components to transverse loads, the test aims to assess their ability to withstand bending forces and identify any potential issues such as excessive deflection or cracking.
Compliance with the BS EN 1356:1997 standard provides assurance that the tested prefabricated components meet the required performance criteria in terms of loadbearing capacity and structural behavior. This standard plays a crucial role in maintaining quality and safety standards within the construction industry.
