Testing hardened concrete - Part 13: Determination of secant modulus of elasticity in compression
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12390-13 standard focuses on providing a method for determining the secant modulus of elasticity in compression of hardened concrete. This standard applies to test specimens that can either be cast or taken from a structure.
The standard offers two different test methods for determining the secant modulus of elasticity. Method A allows for the determination of both the initial modulus, EC,0, which is measured during the first loading, and the stabilized modulus, EC,S, which is measured after three loading cycles. Method B, on the other hand, is specifically designed for determining the stabilized modulus only.
This standard aims to provide accurate and reliable measurements of the secant modulus of elasticity in compression, an essential parameter in determining the structural performance of hardened concrete.
