Unbound and Hydraulically Bound Mixtures - Part 43: Test Method for the Determination of the Modulus of Elasticity of Hydraulically Bound Mixtures
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13286-43 standard provides a detailed procedure for testing the modulus of elasticity of hydraulically bound mixtures. This standard is applicable to specimens that are either manufactured in the laboratory or prepared from cores.
The modulus of elasticity, a fundamental mechanical property, is a measure of a material's stiffness and its ability to withstand deformation under an applied load. In the context of hydraulically bound mixtures, this standard outlines two methods to determine the modulus of elasticity: the compression or direct tensile test, and the indirect tensile test.
This standard is crucial for ensuring the quality and performance of hydraulically bound mixtures in various construction applications. By establishing a standardized test method, it enables consistency in determining the modulus of elasticity and provides a basis for comparison and evaluation of different mixtures. Ultimately, compliance with this standard helps to ensure the durability, stability, and integrity of hydraulically bound mixtures in use.
