Determination of Creep Strains Under Compression of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
The standard DIN EN 1355 focuses on determining the creep strains of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) or lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) with an open structure. Creep strains refer to the longitudinal long-term strains experienced by test specimens taken from prefabricated components of AAC or LAC when subjected to sustained compression stress over an extended period.
The standard outlines the procedure for conducting this determination, providing a systematic approach to ensure accurate results. It specifies the conditions under which the test specimens should be prepared and tested. This includes guidelines for the dimensions and shape of the specimens, as well as the relevant environmental conditions during testing.
By defining a standardized testing procedure, this standard enables comparisons of creep strains between different AAC and LAC products. This information is crucial for evaluating the performance and long-term behavior of these concrete materials, allowing architects, engineers, and manufacturers to make informed decisions regarding their selection and use in construction projects.
