Testing Sprayed Concrete - Part 5: Determination of Energy Absorption Capacity of Fibre Reinforced Slab Specimens
Also Known As:
The standard DIN EN 14488-5 focuses on testing the energy absorption capacity of fibre reinforced slab specimens made from sprayed concrete. The purpose of this standard is to provide a method for evaluating the performance and durability of these slab specimens.
The standard outlines the necessary equipment and procedures for conducting the test. It specifies the dimensions and preparation of the specimens, as well as the test setup and loading conditions. The test involves subjecting the specimens to a dynamic impact, measuring the energy absorbed during the test, and calculating the energy absorption capacity.
By determining the energy absorption capacity of fibre reinforced slab specimens, this standard helps to assess their ability to withstand impact and provide resistance to external forces. This information is crucial for ensuring the quality and reliability of sprayed concrete structures in various applications. Compliance with this standard can also provide a basis for comparative testing of different specimens and materials.
