Determination of Shear Strength for In-Plane Forces of Joints Between Prefabricated Components of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines for testing the shear strength of joints between prefabricated components made of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) or lightweight aggregate concrete with an open structure (LAC). The standard outlines a method for determining the shear strength of these joints under in-plane forces.
The test is conducted according to the requirements specified in prEN 12602 for AAC or EN 1520 for LAC. It involves subjecting the joint to a specified load and measuring the maximum force required to cause failure. The test parameters, including load magnitude and rate, are specified in the standard to ensure consistency in testing.
The results obtained from this test can be used to evaluate the shear strength properties of the joints between AAC or LAC components. This information is valuable for designers and engineers involved in the construction industry, as it allows them to assess the structural integrity and performance of prefabricated components before their implementation.
