Determination of Flexural Strength of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1521 standard is focused on the determination of the flexural strength of lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure. The standard provides specific guidelines and procedures for conducting the test. The flexural strength of the concrete is determined by subjecting prismatic test specimens, taken from pre-fabricated components, to a uniform bending moment.
To perform the test, the specimens are placed in a simply supported position, and a bending moment is applied in the middle third of the span using third-point loading. This ensures a consistent and uniform distribution of the bending moment on the specimen. By measuring the maximum load applied and monitoring the deflection, the flexural tensile strength of the lightweight aggregate concrete can be accurately determined.
The standard provides detailed instructions on the sample preparation, test setup, and measurement techniques to ensure reliable and repeatable results. Following this standard ensures that the flexural strength of lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure can be properly assessed, providing important information for structural design and construction purposes.
