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 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: Slu

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.

BS EN 12350-10:2010EN 12350-10:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the procedure for determining the passing ability ratio for self-compacting concrete using the L box test.
24、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 (including any amendments) applies. EN 12350-1, Testing fresh
25、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 test and the t
26、hree 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 horizontal section
27、(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 that are sm
28、ooth, 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 three smooth st
29、eel 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.

32、old 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 shall be obtained in acc
33、ordance 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 sections. Pour the concrete
34、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 concrete for signs of
35、 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. Fully open the slidin
36、g 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 spaced across the width
37、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 section of the L box 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 nearest 0,01 from the fol
39、lowing 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 Test report The test repo
