Testing sprayed concrete - Part 3: Flexural strengths (first peak, ultimate and residual) of fibre reinforced beam specimens
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14488-3 standard focuses on testing the flexural strengths of fibre reinforced beam specimens of sprayed concrete. The standard provides guidelines and a method for determining the first peak, ultimate, and residual strengths of these specimens. The purpose of this testing is to assess the structural performance and durability of the sprayed concrete in flexural applications.
The standard outlines the necessary equipment and procedures for conducting the test. It provides details on the preparation of the specimens, including the dimensions and composition of the fibre reinforced beam. The testing involves applying a specific load to the beam until failure occurs, measuring the corresponding deflection and load values throughout the test.
By conducting these tests, the standard aims to evaluate the performance of fibre reinforced sprayed concrete in terms of its ability to resist bending forces. The results obtained from the tests can be used to assess the appropriateness of the concrete for various applications and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
