23、gregate concrete with open structure 3 Principle The flexural strength is determined by applying a uniform bending moment in the middle third of the span of a simply supported prismatic test specimen by means of two-point loading. The maximum load sustained is recorded, and the flexural strength is
24、calculated. 4 Apparatus a) any saw, suitable for wet cutting reinforced LAC components; b) calipers, capable of reading the dimensions of test specimens to an accuracy of 0,1 mm; c) a straight-edge, with a length of approximately 450 mm, feeler gauges (0,2 mm, 0,5 mm, 1,0 mm, and 3 mm) and a square,
25、 for checking the planeness and the squareness of test specimens; d) a balance, capable of determining the mass of test specimens to an accuracy of 0,1 %; e) a testing machine, capable of applying a vertical compressive load at the required uniform rate without shock or interruption. The precision o
26、f the machine and the load indication shall be such that the ultimate load can be determined with an accuracy of 2 %. The measuring range shall be such that the ultimate load is higher than one tenth of the range used. f) a loading device, according to figure 1, for transmitting the load of the test
27、ing machine to the test specimen. The device for applying the loads shall consist of two supporting rollers and two loading rollers. The rollers shall be manufactured from steel and shall have a circular cross-section with a diameter between 15 mm and 40 mm; they shall be at least 10 mm longer than
28、the width of the test specimen. The axes of all rollers shall be parallel to each other. Each roller, except one of the supporting ones, shall be capable of rotating around its longitudinal axis and of being inclined in a plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the test specimen. After correct cent
29、ring in the testing machine, the axes of the hinges of the three inclinable rollers shall be situated on a vertical plane which shall not deviate by more than 1 mm from the axis of the compression force of the testing machine. The middle axis between the loading rollers or the supporting rollers, re
30、spectively, shall not deviate from the axis of the testing machine (axis of the vertical compression force) by more than 1 mm. The centre distance, l, between the supporting rollers (i.e. the span length) shall be equal to 3h, where h is the nominal height of the test specimen (normally 100 mm). The
31、 loading rollers shall be equally spaced between the supporting rollers as shown in figure 1. All rollers shall be adjusted in their correct position with all distances having an accuracy of 1 mm. g) a room or cabinet, capable of maintaining a temperature of (20 5) C, for storage of the test specime
32、ns; h) a ventilated drying oven, capable of maintaining temperatures of (45 5) C and (105 5) C. i) a water storage tank, for conditioning of test specimens. Provision of automatic control of water temperature to (20 5) C shall be made where the tank is located in a room not having temperature contro
33、lled within that range. 5 Test specimens 5.1 Sample The sample for the preparation of the test specimens (usually a prefabricated reinforced component) shall be taken in such a manner that it is representative of the product to be investigated. 5.2 Shape and size of test specimens The reference test
34、 specimens shall be prisms cut from prefabricated components, with a height h = 100 mm, a width b = 100 mm, and a length of L = 400 mm. Test specimens of other sizes may be used, provided that the flexural strength determined on such test specimens can be directly related to the flexural strength de

36、Figure 1. Loading arrangement 5.3 Number of test specimens A test set shall consist of three test specimens. 5.4 Preparation of test specimens The test specimens shall be taken from the central area near the longitudinal axis of the component in such a way that their longitudinal axis is parallel to
37、 the longitudinal axis of the component and that one of the longitudinal surfaces coincides with that surface of the component, where the maximum flexural stresses are expected to occur under service conditions. The test specimens shall be cut from the component at an age of 2 d if possible. They sh
38、all contain no reinforcing bars. The surfaces of the test specimens shall be plane and perpendicular to each other. The planeness of the surfaces shall be checked along both of their diagonals and along the lines where the loading forces and the support reactions will be applied, by means of a strai
39、ght-edge and, if necessary, by means of feeler gauges. Deviations by more than 3,0 mm along the diagonals and by more than 0,2 mm along the lines where the loading forces and the support reactions will be applied shall be corrected by grinding or cutting. The angle between adjacent longitudinal face
40、s of the test specimens shall also be checked, using a square and, if necessary, a 1 mm feeler gauge. Deviations from squareness by more than 1 mm per 100 mm ( 0,6) shall be corrected by grinding or cutting. Alternatively, if the surfaces in contact with the loading rollers or support rollers depart
41、 from a plane by not more than 0,5 mm, rubber or leather strips may be used as a load distributing intermediate layer between the rollers and the bearing surfaces, instead of grinding these areas. The rubber or leather strips shall be of uniform thickness (approximately 5 mm), 25 mm in width, and sh
42、all extend over the full width of the test specimen. 5.5 Examination of test specimens and determination of their dimensions and volume The test specimens shall be examined visually, and any abnormalities shall be reported. The dimensions of the test specimens shall be measured to an accuracy of 0,1
43、 mm, using calipers. Measurements may be taken before or after conditioning according to 5.6.Page 5 EN 1521 : 1996 BSI 1997 The width b and the height h shall be measured at both ends (b 1 and b 3 or h 1 and h 3 , respectively) and at midspan (b 2 or h 2 , respectively), each value being the mean va
44、lue of a total of two individual measurements, taken at two opposite longitudinal faces. The total length L shall be measured along the middle axes of two opposite longitudinal surfaces. The volume V of the individual test specimens shall be calculated by multiplying the arithmetic mean value of len
45、gth measurements by the geometric mean value of width measurements (b 1 +2b 2 +b 3 )/4 and the geometric mean value of height measurements (h 1 +2h 2 +h 3 )/4. 5.6 Conditioning of test specimens After cutting, the test specimens shall be allowed to dry for (1 0,5) h in air with the temperature of (2
46、0 5) C. Immediately afterwards they shall be sealed in vapour proof sealing and cured for 14 d at the above temperature. After this curing period the sealing shall be removed, and the test specimens shall be stored in a ventilated drying oven at a temperature of (45 5) C until constant mass is attai
47、ned. The mass of the test specimens is considered constant if after 24 h of further drying it has not changed by more than 0,2 %. Directly after removal from the drying oven, the test specimens shall be immersed in water of drinking water quality at (20 5) C for a period of 7 d. Then the test specim
48、ens shall be allowed to drip dry for (1 0,5) h before determination of the flexural strength. Immediately before testing, the moist mass m hum of the test specimens shall be determined to an accuracy of 0,1 %. NOTE. The purpose of the drying and wetting procedure specified in this clause is simulati
49、on of unfavourable conditions with respect to flexural strength due to possible shrinkage cracking and strength reduction due to water saturation. 6 Testing procedure 6.1 Flexural test All testing machine bearing surfaces shall be wiped clean and any loose material shall be removed from the surfaces of the test specimen that will be in contact with the rollers. The loading device shall be correctly centred in the compression testing machine (see 4f). The test specimen shall be placed on the support roll
