Precast Concrete Products - Test Method for Glass-Fibre Reinforced Cement - Part 5: Measuring Bending Strength; "Complete Bending Test" Method
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1170-5 standard aims to determine the bending strength of glass-fiber reinforced cement (G.R.C.) products. The standard specifies the use of the "Complete bending test" method for evaluating the performance level of G.R.C. formulas.
The purpose of the test is to measure the stress and deformation characteristics of a specific G.R.C. formula, including the limits of proportionality and ruptures. This information is useful for assessing the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of G.R.C. products.
Additionally, this standard intends to establish a relationship between the conventional resistance of the G.R.C. formula at 28 days and its resistance in an untreated condition at 7 days, thus providing insights into the long-term and short-term strength properties of the material.
