21、ng Bin, na, Wed Apr 12 08:16:10 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 680:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This Euopean Standard specifies a method for measuring the relative length changes due to drying (drying shrinkage) of autoclaved aerated concrete manufactured according to EN 771-4 or prEN 12602. The shrin
22、kage characteristics determined according to this method are the following: The conventional reference value of drying shrinkage is the relative length change between two specified moisture contents. The total value of drying shrinkage is the relative length change due to drying from the saturated s
23、tate until reaching constant length under specified climatic conditions. Other drying shrinkage values may be determined between other parameters to meet other specified national requirements. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this Eur
24、opean Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

25、ved aerated concrete masonry units prEN 12602, Prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete 3 Principle Prismatic test specimens are cut from products from new production. For conditioning they are saturated in water at (20 2) C for a period of at least 72 h and then stored in
26、sealed plastic for a period of (24 2) h. Subsequently they are dried in air at (20 2) C and (45 5) % relative humidity (drying period under reference shrinkage storage conditions) until constant length is reached. At the end of the conditioning period and in suitable time intervals during the drying
27、 period the length changes and the mass of the test specimens are determined. Finally, the test specimens are dried to constant mass at (105 5) C in order to determine the dry density of the autoclaved aerated concrete and to enable the calculation of the moisture content of the test specimens at ea
28、ch measuring date from the difference between the mass in the actual moist state and the dry mass. A graph relative length change versus moisture content is plotted, and from the curve the conventional reference value of drying shrinkage, cs,ref, is determined as the relative length change between t
29、he two moisture contents 30 % by mass and 6 % by mass. Where the total value of drying shrinkage is required, the relative length change of the test specimens from the end of the conditioning period until reaching constant length under reference shrinkage storage conditions at (20 2) C and (45 5) %
30、relative humidity shall also be measured. 4 Apparatus a) saw with rotating carborundum or diamond blade or other equipment for cutting test specimens; b) balance, capable of determining the mass of the test specimens to an accuracy of 0,1 %; c) callipers, capable of reading the dimensions of the tes
31、t specimens to an accuracy of 0,1 mm; d) container, for immersion of the test specimens under water; Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Wed Apr 12 08:16:10 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 680:2005 (E) 5 e) temperature and moisture controlled room or cabinet, capable of maintaining a temperature of
32、(20 2) C and a relative humidity of (45 5) % for storing the test specimens during the drying period and for performing the measurement of length changes (see note); f) measuring apparatus (comparator) for measuring length changes of test specimens. Any suitable measuring apparatus may be used provi
33、ded the following requirements are met: Length changes shall be measured in the longitudinal axis of the test specimens. Positive contact shall be established with the gauge plugs attached in the centres of the end faces of the test specimens. Measurements shall be performed with an accuracy of L/L
34、105, where L is the variation in gauge length and L is the initial length of the test specimens between the gauge plugs. Measuring apparatus shall have sufficient range to allow for variations in the actual length of various test specimens. Means shall be provided for checking the measuring apparatu
35、s at each measuring date against an invariable reference. g) gauge plugs, to be applied on the end faces of the test specimens, made of corrosion-resistant metal and shaped in such a way that a reliable positive contact with the measuring apparatus used is ensured. h) ventilated drying oven, capable
36、 of maintaining a temperature of (105 5) C. NOTE The room according to e) need not necessarily be humidity-controlled. Alternatively, during the drying period, the test specimens may be stored in a closed container under the specified climatic conditions. For the reference conditions the specified r
37、elative humidity of (45 5) % in the container can be obtained by means of saturated potash solution (KCO3). 5 Test specimens 5.1 Sample The sample for the preparation of the test specimens shall be taken in such a manner that it is representative of the production to be investigated. In the case of
38、prefabricated reinforced components the test specimens are prepared from the components themselves. Alternatively, they may be taken from prefabricated nonreinforced components of the same mould. 5.2 Shape and size of the test specimens The test specimens shall be prisms with a cross-section of 40 m
39、m 40 mm and a length to suit the length of the measuring apparatus, but not less than 160 mm. 5.3 Number of test specimens The test set, taken from either prefabricated reinforced components, from prefabricated nonreinforced components of the same mould or from nonreinforced masonry units, shall con
40、sist of three test specimens. Whenever possible, one test specimen shall be prepared from the upper third, one from the middle and one from the lower third of the component or of the masonry unit in the direction of rise of the mass during manufacture (see Figure 1).

They shall not contain any reinforcement. All surface
42、s shall be plane and clean. The longitudinal axis of the test specimens taken from a reinforced component or from an unreinforced component of the same mould shall be perpendicular to the direction of rise and preferably in the longitudinal direction of the reinforced component. The longitudinal axi
43、s of the test specimens taken from unreinforced masonry units shall be perpendicular to the direction of rise and preferably in the vertical direction of the unit corresponding to the height of the unit. Test specimens may be prepared from samples which have previously been used for other tests, pro
44、vided that they are cut at least 150 mm from an area where visible damage or changes to the normal structure and appearance have occurred. Gauge plugs according to 4g) for measuring length changes shall be firmly attached to the centres of the end faces of the test specimens using an adhesive such t
45、hat the adhesive does not influence the result. NOTE For the determination of the moisture content of the autoclaved aerated concrete according to 7.2 it is necessary to know the mass of the gauge plugs and of their fixation (adhesive). 5.5 Measurement of dimensions of test specimens and determinati
46、on of their volume The initial dimensions of the test specimens shall be measured to an accuracy of 0,1 mm, using callipers. Width and thickness shall be measured between the longitudinal middle axes of opposite longitudinal surfaces near both ends and in the middle of the length. The length L shall
47、 be measured along the longitudinal middle axes of two opposite longitudinal surfaces. The volume V of the test specimens shall be calculated by multiplying the mean values of thickness, width, and length measurements.

For this purpose they shall be stored during the first 24 h with one third of their thickness, during the
49、second 24 h with two thirds of their thickness and during the last 24 h totally under water. Subsequently the test specimens shall be stored at this temperature in sealed plastic for 24 h to achieve even distribution of moisture. 6 Testing procedure 6.1 Drying storage in a climate at (20 2) C and (45 5) % relative humidity and determination of length changes and variations of mass In order to avoid faulty readings due to the presence of dirt, the gauge plugs shall be wiped carefully before each measureme
