Determination of Static Modulus of Elasticity Under Compression of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete or Lightweight Aggregate Concrete with Open Structure
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1352 standard provides guidelines for determining the static modulus of elasticity in compression for two types of concrete: autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) and lightweight aggregate concrete with open structure (LAC). The modulus of elasticity, also known as the E-modulus, is an important property that measures the stiffness and rigidity of a material.
The standard specifies that the E-modulus is determined by testing prismatic specimens obtained from prefabricated components. The test involves applying compressive stress to the specimens at varying levels from a basic test stress to an upper test stress. The longitudinal compressive strains corresponding to these stress levels are measured, and the E-modulus is calculated based on the difference in these strains.
By providing a standardized procedure for determining the E-modulus, the DIN EN 1352 standard ensures consistency and comparability in evaluating the mechanical properties of AAC and LAC. This information is crucial for engineers and designers in assessing the structural performance and suitability of these concrete types for various applications.
