Unbound and Hydraulically Bound Mixtures - Part 41: Test Method for the Determination of the Compressive Strength of Hydraulically Bound Mixtures
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13286-41 standard provides guidelines for testing the compressive strength of hydraulically bound mixtures (HBM). This standard is applicable to specimens created either in a laboratory setting or from cores obtained from the field.
The purpose of the standard is to establish a method for determining the compressive strength of HBM. Compressive strength is an important parameter for evaluating the performance and durability of hydraulically bound mixtures, which are commonly used in road construction and other civil engineering applications.
The standard outlines the procedures for preparing specimens and conducting the compressive strength test. It specifies the equipment and materials required for testing and provides detailed instructions on applying the load and recording the results. By following the guidelines provided in this standard, consistent and accurate measurements of the compressive strength of HBM can be obtained.
