Testing of Mortars Containing Mineral Binders - Part 9: Determination of the Compressive Strength of Hardened Mortars in the Bed Joint
Also Known As:
DIN 18555-9 is a standard that focuses on the testing of mortars containing mineral binders specifically for determining the compressive strength of hardened mortars in the bed joint. Its primary purpose is to assess the suitability of masonry mortars by evaluating their joint compressive strength. Additionally, this standard is utilized to determine the joint compressive strength of masonry structures that have been constructed using these mortars.
The standard provides guidelines and procedures for conducting the compressive strength tests, ensuring accuracy and consistency in the test results. By following this standard, it becomes possible to obtain reliable information about the mortar's ability to withstand compressive forces in practical applications. The standard helps in assessing the mortar's performance and determining its suitability for various masonry construction projects.
