Precast Concrete Products - Retaining Wall Elements
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15258 standard specifically focuses on precast concrete products called retaining wall elements. It outlines the requirements, performance criteria, and conformity evaluation for these elements.
Retaining walls are structures that are designed to resist lateral pressure from soil or other materials, preventing the collapse or sliding of the supported soil. Precast retaining wall elements are manufactured in advance and then transported to the construction site for installation.
The standard applies to precast elements made of reinforced or plain normal weight concrete. It sets the guidelines for the manufacturing process, including materials selection, mixing, casting, curing, and quality control. This ensures that the elements meet the specified requirements and perform well in terms of strength, durability, and stability.
Furthermore, the DIN EN 15258 standard provides a framework for evaluating the conformity of the precast retaining wall elements. This involves assessing whether the products meet the required specifications, such as dimensional tolerances and performance characteristics.
