DIN EN 12350-4:2009-08 EN 12350-4:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for determining the consistence of fresh concrete by determining
20、 the degree of compactability. It is not applicable to concrete of which the maximum size of aggregate exceeds 63 mm. If the degree of compactability is less than 1,04 or more than 1,46, the concrete has a consistence for which the degree of compactability test is not suitable. 2 Normative reference
21、s 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 (including any amendments) applies. EN 12350-1, Testing fresh concrete Part 1: Samp
22、ling 3 Principle Carefully place the fresh concrete in a container using a trowel, avoiding any compaction the concrete. When the container is full, the top surface is struck off level with the top of the container. The concrete is compacted by vibration and the distance from the surface of the comp
23、acted concrete to the upper edge of the container is used to determine the degree of compactability. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Container, made of metal not readily attacked by cement paste. The internal dimensions of the container shall be: base: (200 2) mm (200 2) mm; height: (400 2) mm. The thickness of the
24、 base and walls shall be at least 1,5 mm. NOTE The bottom of the container may be perforated to facilitate emptying. A suitable plastic plate to cover the bottom has then to be placed inside the container. 4.2 Trowel, with a flat blade (see Figure 1). DIN EN 12350-4:2009-08 EN 12350-4:2009 (E) 6 Dim
25、ensions in millimetres Figure 1 Trowel 4.3 Means of compacting the concrete, which shall be one of the following: internal vibrator: with a minimum frequency of approximately 120 Hz (7 200 cycles per minute). The diameter of the internal vibrator shall not exceed one-quarter of the smallest dimensio
26、n of the container; vibrating table: with a minimum frequency of approximately 40 Hz (2 400 cycles per minute). The use of a vibrating table shall be the reference method. 4.4 Remixing container, flat tray of rigid construction and made from a non-absorbent material not readily attacked by cement pa
27、ste. It shall be of appropriate dimensions such that the concrete can be thoroughly re-mixed, using the square-mouthed shovel. 4.5 Shovel, with square mouth. NOTE The square mouth is required to ensure proper mixing of material on the remixing container. DIN EN 12350-4:2009-08 EN 12350-4:2009 (E) 7
28、4.6 Straight edged scraper, more than 200 mm in length 4.7 Rule, graduated from 0 mm to 300 mm, at intervals not exceeding 5 mm, the zero mark being at the extreme end of the rule. 4.8 Moist cloth. 5 Sampling The sample shall be obtained in accordance with EN 12350-1. The sample shall be re-mixed be
29、fore carrying out the test. NOTE Alternative sampling procedures may be given in national standards or provisions in the place of use of concrete. 6 Procedure Clean the container and moisten the inner surfaces using a damp cloth. Fill the container, without tamping it, by tilting the trowel sideways
30、 from each of all four upper edges of the container in turn. When the container is filled, remove all concrete above the upper edges, using the straight edged scraper with a sawing action, in such a way as to avoid any compacting effect. Compact the concrete by means of a vibrating table or by the u
31、se of an internal vibrator, until no further reduction in volume is determinable. During compaction avoid loss of concrete through splashing, or leakage. NOTE 1 Great care is recommended if loss of entrained air is to be avoided when using an internal vibrator. After compaction, determine the value
32、of s (see Figure 2), i.e.: the mean value of the distance between the surface of the compacted concrete and the upper edge of the container to the nearest millimetre. Obtain this value by measuring at the middle of each side of the container. NOTE 2 The consistence of a concrete mix changes with tim
33、e, due to hydration of the cement and, possibly, loss of moisture. Tests on different samples should, therefore, be carded out at a constant time interval after mixing, if strictly comparable results are to be obtained. 7 Expression of results The degree of compactability c is given by the formula:
34、shhc= where h is the internal height of the container, in millimetres; s is the mean value, to the nearest millimetre, of the four distances from the surface of the compacted concrete to the upper edges of the container. The result shall be reported to the nearest 0.01. DIN EN 12350-4:2009-08 EN 123
