Determination of the Bond Behaviour between Reinforcing Steel and Autoclaved Aerated Concrete by the 'Beam Test' - Part 1: Short Term Test
Also Known As:
The standard, DIN EN 12269-1, focuses on the determination of the bond behaviour between reinforcing steel and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) using the 'Beam Test'. This test method is specifically designed for obtaining values for the short term bond strength (Tbm) in prefabricated reinforced components made with different combinations of concrete types, bar shapes, and corrosion protection systems.
The standard provides a detailed procedure for conducting the test, including the preparation of the AAC test specimens and reinforcing steel bars, as well as the measurement and calculation of the bond strength. It also specifies the requirements for the testing equipment and the testing conditions to ensure accurate and reproducible results.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized method for assessing the bond behaviour between reinforcing steel and AAC, which is crucial for the structural integrity and performance of reinforced components. By determining the bond strength, designers and engineers can ensure that the reinforced AAC elements are able to withstand the specified loads and provide sufficient resistance to bond failure.
