Admixtures for Concrete, Mortar and Grout - Test Methods - Part 4: Determination of Bleeding of Concrete
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 480-4 standard provides a procedure for determining the bleeding of freshly mixed concrete. Bleeding refers to the separation of water from the concrete mixture, resulting in the upward movement of water towards the surface.
The standard applies to concrete mixes that contain aggregates with a maximum size of up to 50 mm. It aims to assess the relative quantity of mixing water that will bleed from the concrete sample.
The method described in the standard involves placing the concrete mixture in a cylindrical mold and allowing it to settle. After a specific period, the water that has separated from the concrete is collected and measured. The measurement provides an indication of the bleeding characteristics of the concrete mixture.
