ISO 7845:1985 PDF Download

ISO 7845:1985 is a standard that specifies the methods of testing to determine the mechanical properties of horizontal joints between load-bearing walls and concrete floors. The purpose of these tests is to assess how the joints handle vertical loading and moments transmitted by the floors. The standard covers interior and exterior walls made of masonry or prefabricated units that support a floor on one or both sides.

By conducting these mechanical tests, engineers and construction professionals can evaluate the strength and durability of the joints, ensuring that they can withstand the vertical loads and moments exerted by the floors. This information is crucial for designing and constructing load-bearing walls and concrete floors that are structurally sound and safe. The standard provides standardized testing procedures to ensure accurate and reliable results across different projects and locations. Compliance with ISO 7845:1985 helps to maintain quality and safety in the construction industry.
