13、 This document (EN 12390-3:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 “Concrete and related products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the
14、 latest by August 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or al
15、l such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12390-3:2001. It is recognised good practice to include measurement of density prior to the determination of compressive strength. The methods for adjusting the ends of test specimens, given in Annex A, have been validated in a laboratory inter-compa
16、rison, part-funded by the EC under the Measurement and Testing Programme; contract MATI-CT-94-0043. This standard is one of a series concerned with testing concrete.

The maximum load sustained by the specimen is recorded and the compressive strength of the concrete is calculated. 4 Apparatus Compression testing machine, conformin
26、g to EN 12390-4. 5 Test specimens 5.1 Requirement The test specimen shall be a cube, cylinder or core meeting the requirements of EN 12350-1, EN 12390-1, EN 12390-2, or EN 12504-1. If the dimension of the test specimen does not conform to the tolerances for designated size in EN 12390-1, it can be t
27、ested in accordance with the procedure given in Annex B. NOTE Damaged specimens or specimens which are badly honeycombed should not be tested. DIN EN 12390-3:2009-07 EN 12390-3:2009 (E) 6 5.2 Adjustment of test specimens Where the dimensions or shapes of test specimens do not conform to the requirem
28、ents given in EN 12390-1 because they exceed the respective tolerances, they shall be rejected, adjusted or tested in accordance with Annex B. One of the methods given in Annex A shall be used to adjust specimens. 6 Procedure 6.1 Specimen preparation and positioning Wipe all testing machine bearing
29、surfaces clean and remove any loose grit or other extraneous material from the surfaces of the specimen that will be in contact with the platens. Do not use packing, other than auxiliary platens or spacing blocks (see EN 12390-4) between the specimen and the platens of the testing machine. Wipe the
30、excess moisture from the surface of the specimen before placing in the testing machine. Position the cube specimens so that the load is applied perpendicularly to the direction of casting. Centre the specimen with respect to the lower platen to an accuracy of 1 % of the designated size of cubic, or
31、designated diameter of cylindrical specimens. If auxiliary platens are used, align them with the top and bottom face of the specimen. With two-column testing machines, cubic specimens should be placed with the trowelled surface facing a column. 6.2 Loading Select a constant rate of loading within th
32、e range 0,6 0,2 MPa/s (N/mms). After the application of the initial load, which does not exceed approximately 30% of the failure load, apply the load to the specimen without shock and increase continuously at the selected constant rate 10 %, until no greater load can be sustained. When using manuall
33、y controlled testing machines, correct any tendency for the selected rate of loading to decrease, as specimen failure is approached by appropriate adjustment of the controls. Record the maximum load indicated in kN. NOTE Further guidance on loading rates for high and low strength concrete e.g. above
34、 80 MPa and below 20 MPa cube strengths, may be given in national Annex NA 6.3 Assessment of type of failure Examples of the failure of specimen showing that the tests have proceeded satisfactorily are given in Figure 1 for cubes and in Figure 3 for cylinders. Examples for unsatisfactory failure of
35、specimens are shown in Figure 2 for cubes and in Figure 4 for cylinders. If failure is unsatisfactory this shall be recorded with reference to the pattern letter according to Figure 2 or 4 closest to that observed. NOTE Unsatisfactory failures can be caused by: DIN EN 12390-3:2009-07 EN 12390-3:2009
36、 (E) 7 insufficient attention to testing procedures, especially positioning of the specimen; a fault with the testing machine. For cylindrical specimens, failure of the capping before the concrete is an unsatisfactory failure. 7 Expression of results The compressive strength is given by the equation
37、: ccFfA= where fcis the compressive strength, in MPa (N/mm); F is the maximum load at failure, in N; Acis the cross-sectional area of the specimen on which the compressive force acts, calculated from the designated size of the specimen (see EN 12390-1) or from measurements on the specimen if tested
38、according to Annex B, in mm2. The compressive strength shall be expressed to the nearest 0,1 MPa (N/mm). 8 Test report The report shall include: a) identification of the test specimen; b) designated dimensions of the specimen or if tested in accordance with Annex B, actual dimensions; c) details of
39、adjustment by grinding/capping (if appropriate); d) date of test; e) maximum load at failure, in kN; f) compressive strength of specimen, to the nearest 0,1 MPa (N/mm); g) unsatisfactory failure (if appropriate) and if unsatisfactory the closest type; h) any deviations from the standard method of te
40、sting; i) a declaration from the person technically responsible for the test that it was carried out in accordance with this document, except as detailed in item h). The report may include: j) mass of the specimen; k) apparent density of specimen, to the nearest 10 kg/m3; l) condition of the specime
