Unbound and Hydraulically Bound Mixtures - Part 40: Test Method for Determination of the Direct Tensile Strength of Hydraulically Bound Mixtures
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13286-40 standard provides guidelines for testing the direct tensile strength of hydraulically bound mixtures. The purpose of this test method is to determine the tensile strength of specimens made from hydraulically bound mixtures. These mixtures are prepared in accordance with prEN 13286-52, which specifies the requirements for the composition and production of hydraulically bound mixtures.
The direct tensile strength test involves subjecting the specimens to tension until failure occurs. The force required to break the specimen is measured and used to calculate the direct tensile strength. This test method is applicable to different types of hydraulically bound mixtures used in construction, such as cement-bound granular materials, lime-bound mixtures, and hydraulic road binders.
Complying with this standard ensures that hydraulically bound mixtures used in construction projects meet the required tensile strength specifications. The test method described in this standard provides a reliable and consistent approach to determining the direct tensile strength of hydraulically bound mixtures, allowing for accurate assessments of their performance.
