Determination of the Drying Shrinkage of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete
Also Known As:
The standard DIN EN 680 focuses on determining the drying shrinkage of autoclaved aerated concrete. This method is applicable specifically to autoclaved aerated concrete manufactured according to EN 771-4 or prEN 12602. The goal of this standard is to measure the relative length changes that occur as a result of drying.
The shrinkage characteristics that are determined through this method include the conventional reference value of drying shrinkage, which refers to the relative length change between two specified moisture contents. Additionally, the total value of drying shrinkage is determined, which represents the relative length change from the saturated state until reaching a constant length under specified climatic conditions.
It is important to note that this standard allows for the determination of other drying shrinkage values between different parameters, based on the requirements set by national regulations.
