Determination of the Compressive Strength of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete
Also Known As:
The standard DIN EN 679 outlines the method for determining the compressive strength of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). This European standard sets forth the procedure that needs to be followed in order to accurately measure the compressive strength of AAC samples.
The standard dictates that in order to determine the compressive strength, cylindrical samples of AAC need to be prepared. These samples are then subjected to a compressive force until failure occurs. The maximum load and the dimensions of the sample are recorded during the testing process.
The standard provides guidance on the preparation of the samples, including the molding and curing conditions. It also outlines the requirements for the testing equipment and the test procedure. Furthermore, it specifies the accuracy requirements of the testing equipment and the calibration procedures that need to be followed.
