CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This docume
13、nt has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). This standard is based on the results from the EU-project “Testing-SCC“ under the 5thFrame Programme (GRD2-2000-30024/G6RD-CT-
14、2001-00580). Owing to its significant advantages in the improvement of construction quality and working environment, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been widely accepted by the construction owners. The use of SCC in practical concrete construction is steadily increasing. Since SCC has to give sat
15、isfactory in-situ properties (perfect filling of the mould and embedment of the reinforcement, homogeneity and full compaction) without vibration, the proper methods for testing the fresh SCC are very important. These should address three key properties: filling ability, passing ability and resistan
16、ce to segregation. It is desirable, especially in the case of new constituents or new concrete compositions, to test the consistence of fresh SCC before casting in place. A number of test methods including this test are available for testing fresh SCC. Most of the commonly used test methods were eva
17、luated in the recently closed EU-project “Testing-SCC“ under the 5thFrame Programme (GRD2-2000-30024/G6RD-CT-2001-00580). According to the results from this EU project, it seems no single test method can completely cover all three key properties. Nevertheless any test method should at least be corre
18、lated to the practical situation and give consistent results in order to provide reliable data for judgment of concrete workability. This standard is one of a series concerned with testing fresh concrete. EN 12350, Testing fresh concrete, consists of the following parts: Part 1: Sampling Part 2: Slu

BS EN 12350-8:2010EN 12350-8:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the procedure for determining the slump-flow and t500time for self-compacting concrete. The test is not suitabl
24、e when the maximum size of the aggregate exceeds 40 mm. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (inclu
25、ding any amendments) applies. EN 12350-1, Testing fresh concrete Part 1: Sampling EN 12350-2, Testing fresh concrete Part 2: Slump-test 3 Principle The slump-flow and t500time is used to assess the flowability and the flow rate of self-compacting concrete in the absence of obstructions. It is based
26、on the slump test described in EN 12350-2. The result is an indication of the filling ability of self-compacting concrete. The t500time is a measure of the speed of flow and an indication of the relative viscosity of the self-compacting concrete. The fresh concrete is poured into a cone as used for
27、the EN 12350-2 slump test. When the cone is withdrawn upwards the time from commencing upward movement of the cone to when the concrete has flowed to a diameter of 500 mm is measured; this is the t500time. The largest diameter of the flow spread of the concrete and the diameter of the spread at righ
28、t angles to it are then measured and the mean is the slump-flow. Measurement of the t500time may be omitted if not requested. 4 Apparatus The apparatus shall be in accordance with EN 12350-2 except as detailed below. 4.1 Baseplate, made from a flat steel plate, which shall be the reference material,
29、 with a plan area of at least 900 mm 900 mm on which concrete can be placed. The plate shall have a flat, smooth surface. If the plate is made from other materials, in-use performance test data shall be available which demonstrates long-term equivalence with steel plate. The surface shall not be rea
30、dily attacked by cement paste or be liable to rusting. The construction of the plate shall be such as to prevent distortion. The deviation from flatness shall not exceed 3 mm at any point when a straight edge is placed between opposing sides and corners. The centre of the plate shall be scribed with
31、 a cross, the lines of which run parallel to the edges of the plate and with circles of (210 1) mm diameter and (500 1) mm diameter having their centres coincident with the centre point of the plate. See Figure 1. All lines to be a maximum of 2,0 mm wide and 1,0 mm deep. 4.2 Rule or measuring tape,
32、of minimum length 1 000 mm and having sub-divisions not greater than 5 mm along its entire length. 4.3 Stop watch, capable of measuring to 0,1 s. 4.4 Spirit level, for checking horizontality of base plate prior to commencing the test. BS EN 12350-8:2010EN 12350-8:2010 (E) 6 4.5 Container, to hold th
33、e test sample and having a volume of at least 10 l. 4.6 Collar (optional), having a mass of at least 9 kg (see Figure 2). NOTE The collar allows the test to be carried out by one person. Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Baseplate Dimensions in millimetres Figure 2 Example of dimensions of a steelw
34、eighted collar 5 Test sample The sample shall be obtained in accordance with EN 12350-1. BS EN 12350-8:2010EN 12350-8:2010 (E) 7 6 Procedure Place the baseplate on a flat and horizontal surface free from external vibration or shock. Check the top surface for horizontality using the spirit level. Cle
35、an the table and the cone and dampen immediately prior to testing, but keep free from excess moisture. Fit the collar to the cone if being used. Place the cone centrally within the 210 mm circle on the baseplate and hold in position by standing on the foot pieces (or use the collar), ensuring that n
36、o concrete can leak from under the cone. Fill the cone in one operation without any agitation or mechanical compaction, and strike off surplus from the top of the cone. Allow the filled cone to stand for not more than 30 s; during this time remove any spilled concrete from the baseplate. Lift the co
37、ne vertically in 1 s to 3 s in one movement without interfering with the flow of concrete. If the t500time has been requested, start the stop watch immediately the cone ceases to be in contact with the baseplate and record the time taken to the nearest 0,1 s for the concrete to first touch the 500 m
38、m circle After the flow of concrete has stabilized without disturbing the baseplate or concrete, measure the largest diameter of the flow spread and record as d1 to the nearest 10 mm. Then measure the diameter of the flow spread at right angles to d1to the nearest 10 mm and record as d2to the neares
39、t 10 mm. If the difference between d1and d2is greater than 50 mm another sample shall be taken and the procedure repeated. If two consecutive tests show the difference between d1and d2to be greater than 50 mm, the concrete lacks the necessary flowability for the slump-flow test to be suitable. Check
40、 the concrete spread for signs of segregation and report under item 8, f) in a qualitative way, e.g. no indication of segregation, strong indication of segregation. NOTE Signs of segregation include a ring of cement paste/mortar and segregated coarse aggregate in the central area. 7 Test result The
41、slump-flow SF is the mean of d1and d2, expressed to the nearest 10 mm, given by the following equation. 2)(21ddSF+= where SF is the slump-flow, in millimetres; d1is the largest diameter of flow spread, in millimetres; d2is the flow spread at 90 to d1, in millimetres. The t500time is reported to the
42、nearest 0,5 s. 8 Test report The test report shall include: a) identification of the test sample; BS EN 12350-8:2010EN 12350-8:2010 (E) 8 b) location where the test was performed; c) date and time of test; d) slump-flow, SF, to the nearest 10 mm; e) t500time, to the nearest 0,5 s (when requested); f
