17、ed by Technical Committee CEN/TC 125 “Masonry”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest February 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be wit

18、hdrawn at the latest by February 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 846-5:2000. The pri

19、ncipal changes in this document form the previous edition relate to the tie position, the number of ties to be tested, the location of the clamp during testing and the treatment of slope and movement tolerant ties. Ties are to now be placed at the minimum declared embedment length rather than a leng

20、th calculated from the tie length and design cavity width. Ten ties are tested in tension and ten in compression. In the compression tests the ties are loaded over an extended cavity, or alternatively provision is made for evaluating the cavity section by calculation. Where ties are designed to tole

21、rate either an induced slope or movement then prior to test they are cycled fifty times through the slope or movement for which they have been designed. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this Euro

24、s. The test is intended for ties used for connecting together two leaves of masonry and for the mortar-bedded end of ties for connecting masonry leaves to other structures. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indisp

30、 tie is embedded in a mortar typical of the type for which the tie is specified between a pair (couplet) of masonry units. The tie is then subjected to tension or compression until failure occurs. DIN EN 846-5:2012-11 EN 846-5:2012 (E) 5 4 Materials 4.1 Masonry units 4.1.1 Sampling and conditioning

31、Masonry units shall be as specified in accordance with EN 771. All of the masonry units for individual tests or for making the couplet specimens shall be taken from the same consignment. The conditioning of masonry units shall be as specified. Record the method of conditioning the masonry units prio

32、r to laying. Measure the moisture content by mass of autoclaved aerated concrete and calcium silicate units in accordance with EN 772-10. Record the age of non-autoclaved concrete units at the time of testing the masonry specimens. 4.1.2 Testing Determine the compressive strength of a sample of maso

33、nry units using the method given in EN 772-1. For non-autoclaved concrete units, determine the compressive strength at the time of testing the couplet specimens. 4.2 Mortar The mortar, its mixing procedure and its flow value shall conform to the requirements of EN 998-2, unless otherwise specified a

34、nd these shall be reported in the test report. Take representative samples of fresh mortar from the masons board to make mortar prisms to determine the flow value in accordance with EN 1015-3, and to determine the air content in accordance with EN 1015-7. Use the prism specimens to determine the mea

35、n compressive strength at the time of testing of the masonry specimens in accordance with EN 1015-11. 4.3 Wall ties The method of sampling shall be in accordance with EN 845-1. The minimum number of specimens shall be 20, but this number shall be doubled where both ends of asymmetrical ties are test

36、ed separately. 5 Apparatus 5.1 A simple support for the couplet specimen so that the reaction (e.g. hardwood bearer-see Figure 4) is no closer to the centre line of the tie than 75 mm. The support system shall not apply any restraint against splitting of the specimen, apart from the friction generat

37、ed at the reaction due to the applied load. A possible arrangement is shown in Figure 4 for tension and in Figure 4 for compression. In cases where slope tolerant ties are required to be tested at their maximum design slope the load should be applied to the tie end via a rigid loading assembly and t

38、he support arrangement should allow the specimen to be offset from the machine axis by the specified offset distance. DIN EN 846-5:2012-11 EN 846-5:2012 (E) 6 5.2 A means of applying and maintaining a constant compressive stress of 0,1 N/mm2 0,01 N/mm2on the couplet. A possible device is shown in Fi

39、gure 2. NOTE The device is optional where ultimate failure does not occur by splitting apart of the couplet. 5.3 A clamp for gripping the free end of the tie and applying a load. Typical clamps are shown in Figure 3. NOTE Movement of the specimen within the clamp will invalidate the deformation meas

40、urement and therefore specially designed clamps may be needed for particular tie forms. The use of low melting point alloys to act as chucks is recommended. Some frame ties will require special clamps. 5.4 A test machine capable of applying the load without distortion such that the maximum load read

41、ing occurs above 20 % of the full scale reading. The load shall be measured using a load cell device having a digital or analogue readout with a maximum error of 2 % of the full scale reading. The system shall apply an axial force to the specimen. The system or universal test machine shall be fitted

42、 with a rigid connection between the clamp which is used to apply tension or compression loads and the machine cross-head or loading device, i.e. any pivot ball joint or universal joint connections to the load cells shall be locked. 5.5 A means of measuring displacement of the couplet in relation to

43、 the clamp using at least two symmetrically placed dial gauges or electrical linear displacement transducers as shown in Figure 1. Displacement shall be measured to the nearest 0,01 mm. Displacement shall not be measured by recording the cross-head travel of the test machine. 5.6 For polymer-based (

44、plastics) products only, a controlled temperature and humidity chamber or room which may be a chamber which fits over the specimen. 6 Preparation and storage of test specimens 6.1 General Ten couplet specimens each for compression and tensile testing shall be prepared with the ties embedded to the d

45、eclared minimum embedment length. The number of specimens for each shall be doubled where both ends of asymmetrical ties are tested separately. 6.2 Preparation Build the specimens on a flat horizontal surface, and lay the ties in the bed joints between two masonry units by normal bricklaying techniq

46、ues, using a jig to ensure axial alignment of each tie. A typical jig is shown in Figure 4. Align the two stretcher faces to be used for reaction to give a plane surface. Strike off the mortar flush with the faces of the specimen. General purpose and lightweight masonry mortar joints shall be betwee

47、n 8 mm and 15 mm thick. Thin layer mortar joints shall be between 1 mm and 3 mm thick. Record the position of the ties in relation to any perforations, frogs or other depressions of the bed face of the units. Deviations from axiallity of the tie in a couplet is liable to reduce its measured strength

48、. This effect may be assessed by measuring the compressive strength of offset ties in a suitable test machine. DIN EN 846-5:2012-11 EN 846-5:2012 (E) 7 6.3 Length of embedment of ties in mortar beds For symmetrical ties, physically identical at each end and designed or intended to be used in mortar at each end, the length of embedment shall be the declared minimum embedment length. For asymmetrical ties either of a different physical design at each end
