Test Methods for Fibres in Concrete - Part 1: Reference Concretes
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14845-1 standard focuses on providing guidelines for evaluating the performance of fibres in concrete. Specifically, this standard defines the composition and characteristics of reference concretes that are to be used in the testing process.
The purpose of using reference concretes is to establish a baseline for comparison and to ensure consistent and standardized testing procedures. By specifying the composition and characteristics of these reference concretes, the standard aims to eliminate variability in the testing process and enable reliable evaluation of different types of fibres in concrete.
The standard likely provides detailed information on the required composition and characteristics of the reference concretes. This includes information such as the types of cement and aggregates to be used, the water-cement ratio, and any additional admixtures or additives that are permitted. It may also provide guidelines on the mixing and curing procedures to be followed to ensure the concretes meet the required specifications.
