28、f strength class 42,5 or 52,5 conforming to EN 197-1. The cement used shall have a C3A content of 7 % to 11 % by mass calculated from chemical analysis according to EN 196-2 and a specific surface of 3 200 cm2/g to 4 600 cm2/g determined according to EN 196-6. 3.2 Aggregate A natural normal weight a
29、ggregate conforming to EN 12620 with low water absorption ( 2 % by mass) shall be used. The grading shall conform to Table 1.

31、ecified, tests on the reference concrete are performed as comparative tests. That is, the performance of the admixtures is determined by comparing the reference concrete containing the viscosity modifying admixture (test mix) with the reference concrete made without the viscosity modifying admixture
32、 (control mix) but otherwise with the same aggregate/cement ratio and constituents from the same delivery. The requirements for the reference concrete are given in Table 2. The fresh concrete shall be fully compacted. The air content of the control mix shall not exceed 2 % by volume. DIN EN 480-15:2

The aggregate: cement ratio shall be recorded Superplasticizer to EN 934-2 Within manufacturers normal range Water 230 kg/m3Slump flow (SF

The aggregate sh
35、all be used in an oven dry condition ( 105 C) to remove doubts on moisture content variation. If the aggregate is not oven dry, its moisture content shall be determined and the aggregate and water content shall be corrected accordingly. In the case of dispute, oven dry aggregates shall be used. The
36、dosage of the superplasticizer and the quantity of water in the control mix shall be such as to obtain an initial slump flow (SF) and sieve segregation (SR) in accordance with Table 2. The test mix containing the viscosity modifying admixture shall have the same water content, cement content and the
37、 same aggregate: cement ratio as the control mix but the dosage of superplasticizer shall be adjusted if necessary to give a consistence not less than that of the control mix. 5.2 Mixing and testing Prior to mixing, each of the constituents shall be conditioned to a temperature of (20 2) C. The foll
38、owing mixing technique shall be adopted to ensure repeatability of results and eliminate initial moisture absorption effects on consistence. Use a forced action pan mixer to a minimum of 50 % and a maximum 90 % of capacity. Wipe the inside with a damp cloth if dry. Add all the aggregates to the pan
39、mixer with half the mixing water. Mix for 2 min then stand for 2 min. Cover the pan mixer during the standing period to minimise evaporation effects. Restart the mixer for 30 s after or while adding the cement. Over the next 30 s, add the remaining water and admixtures as appropriate to the mix (not
40、ing any manufacturers recommendations with respect to the order and timing). Mix for a further 2 min. Determine the slump flow (SF) and start the sieve segregation test (SR) within 10 min of completion of mixing. DIN EN 480-15:2013-06 EN 480-15:2013 (E) 7 If the slump flow and sieve segregation of t
41、he control mix are outside the limits in Table 2, discard the mix and repeat at a revised water or superplasticiser content. If the slump flow of the test mix is not equal to or greater than the slump flow of the control mix, discard the mix and repeat at a revised superplasticiser content. Determin
42、e the fresh density and air content within 30 min from completion of mixing (if necessary the concrete may be remixed for 10 s). If the air content and/or cement content of the control mix calculated from the fresh density are outside the limits in Table 2, discard the mix and test a new mix. Take t
43、hree specimens from each mix for compressive strength testing. The control mix should be held for 60 min to 90 min then remixed for 1 min before taking the specimens to prevent segregation in the cube or cylinder mould. The test mix specimens should not be remixed but be made within 60 min from comp
44、letion of initial mixing. Prepare and cure the specimens in accordance with EN 12390-2 using moulds conforming to EN 12390-1. If the compressive strength of one of the specimens varies from the average of the set by more than 10 % it shall be discarded and the average recalculated from the remaining
45、 two specimens. 6 Test report The test report shall include the following information for the control and test mixes: a) A reference to this standard. b) Aggregate: 1) source and type; 2) crushed / uncrushed; 3) grading; 4) moisture content if not oven dry. c) Cement: 1) source; 2) notation to EN 19
