Precast Concrete Products: Wood-Chip Concrete Shuttering Blocks - Product Properties and Performance
Also Known As:
BS EN 15498:2008 is a standard that focuses on the properties and performance of precast concrete products known as wood-chip concrete shuttering blocks. These blocks are designed to be hollow and non-load-bearing, providing a cost-effective solution for constructing walls and partitions. They can be used for both external and internal applications and are meant to be filled with concrete.
The standard outlines the specifications for these blocks, including their dimensional requirements, compressive strength, and durability. It also covers additional features that may be incorporated into the blocks, such as thermal insulation. The performance of the blocks is assessed through various test methods, ensuring that they meet the necessary quality and safety standards.
By providing clear guidelines for the properties and performance of wood-chip concrete shuttering blocks, this standard aims to ensure consistency and reliability in their manufacture and use. Compliance with this standard can help architects, engineers, and construction professionals in selecting and specifying the appropriate blocks for their projects, optimizing construction processes, and enhancing the overall quality of precast concrete structures.
