Methods of Test for Mortar for Masonry - Part 11: Determination of Flexural and Compressive Strength of Hardened Mortar
Also Known As:
DIN EN 1015-11 is a standard that provides a detailed procedure for determining the flexural and compressive strength of hardened mortar. The standard is applicable to various types of mortar, including cement/air-lime mortars, air-lime mortars, mortars with hydraulic binders, and retarded mortars.
The standard outlines the specific equipment and materials required for conducting the test, such as test molds, a compression testing machine, and a flexural testing machine. It also specifies the dimensions and preparation of the mortar specimens, including the curing conditions and the timing of the tests.
For flexural strength testing, the standard details the procedure for placing the mortar specimens in the flexural testing machine and applying the load until failure occurs. The results are then recorded and used to determine the flexural strength of the mortar.
Similarly, for compressive strength testing, the standard provides instructions for placing the mortar specimens in the compression testing machine and applying a gradually increasing load until failure. The results are measured and used to calculate the compressive strength of the mortar.
