15、ent 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
16、-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 sa
17、tisfactory 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 resista
18、nce 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 ev
19、aluated 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 corr
20、elated to the practical situation and give consistent results in order to provide reliable data for judgment of concrete consistence. 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: Sl

Take precautions to avoid dry cement entering the eyes, mouth and nose whilst mixing concrete. Prevent skin con

If cement or concrete enters the eye, immediately wash it out thoroughly with clean water and seek medical treatment without delay. Wash wet concrete off the skin immediately.

26、 box test. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

27、ting fresh concrete Part 1: Sampling 3 Principle The L box test is used to assess the passing ability of self-compacting concrete to flow through tight openings including spaces between reinforcing bars and other obstructions without segregation or blocking. There are two variations; the two bar tes
28、t and the three bar test. The three bar test simulates more congested reinforcement. A measured volume of fresh concrete is allowed to flow horizontally through the gaps between vertical, smooth reinforcing bars. The heights of the concrete in the vertical section (H1) and at the end of the horizont
29、al section (H2), see Figure 1, are measured and the ratio H2/H1determined. This ratio is a measure of the passing or blocking behaviour of SCC . 4 Apparatus 4.1 L box, having the general arrangement and internal dimensions as shown in Figure 1. The L box shall be of rigid construction with surfaces
30、that are smooth, flat and not readily attacked by cement paste or be liable to rusting. The vertical hopper may be removable for ease of cleaning. The bar positioning system shall be such that two smooth steel bars of (12 0,2) mm diameter will provide a gap of (59 1) mm for the two bar test and thre
31、e smooth steel bars of (12 0,2) mm diameter will provide a gap of (41 1) mm for the three bar test. The system shall locate the bars in the L box so that they are vertical and equidistant across the width of the box, as shown in Figure 2. DIN EN 12350-10:2010-12 EN 12350-10:2010 (E) 6 Dimensions in

34、 4.3 Containers, to hold the sample and having a total volume not less than 14 l. 4.4 Spirit level, for checking horizontality of base of L box base prior to commencing the test. 4.5 Straight edge, for striking off concrete level with the top of the L box. 5 Test sample A sample of at least 14 l sha
35、ll be obtained in accordance with EN 12350-1. 6 Test procedure Support the L box on a level base and check for horizontality using the spirit level. Clean the L box and dampen immediately prior to testing, but keep free from excess moisture. Close the gate between the vertical and horizontal section
36、s. Pour the concrete from the container(s) into the filling hopper of the L box, without any agitation or mechanical compaction, then strike off the top with the straight edge so that the concrete is level with the top of the vertical section of the L box and allow to stand for (60 10) s. Check the
37、concrete for signs of segregation before and after filling of the L box and report under item 8, d) in a qualitative way, e.g. no indication of segregation, strong indication of segregation. NOTE Signs of segregation include a layer of cement paste/mortar and segregated coarse aggregate at the top.
38、Fully open the sliding gate in a smooth continuous action to allow the concrete to flow into the horizontal section. When movement has ceased, measure the drop in height of the level of concrete H1 to the nearest 1 mm in the vertical section on the gate side of the box at three positions equally spa
39、ced across the width of the box. The mean depth of the concreteH1 is the difference between the height of vertical section and the average of the three readings of H1. Record H1to the nearest 1 mm. The same procedure is used to calculate the mean depth of the concrete at the end of the horizontal se
40、ction of the L box H2from the DIN EN 12350-10:2010-12 EN 12350-10:2010 (E) 8 difference with the height of the horizontal section and the average of the three readings of H2. Record H2to the nearest 1 mm. 7 Test result The passing ability ratio PL, as measured by the L box test, is calculated to the
41、 nearest 0,01 from the following equation: 12HHPL = where PL is the passing ability ratio measured by the L box test; H1is the mean depth of concrete in the vertical section of the box, in millimetres; H2is the mean depth of concrete at the end of the horizontal section of the box, in millimetres. 8
42、 Test report The test report shall include: a) identification of the test sample; b) location where the test was performed; c) date and time of test; d) any segregation or bleeding observed during filling of the L box; e) whether two bar or three bar test; f) passing ability ratio, PL, to the neares
43、t 0,05; g) any deviation from the standard test method; h) declaration by the person technically responsible for the test that it was carried out in accordance with this standard, except as noted in item g). The report may include: i) temperature of the concrete at the time of test; j) age of concre
44、te at time of test (if known). 9 Repeatability and reproducibility The repeatability r and reproducibility R have been determined by a programme including eleven laboratories, 22 operators and two replicates, and interpreted in accordance with ISO 5725-2. The resulting values for r and R for the thr
