BS EN 14721:2005+A1:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies two methods of measuring the fibre content of metallic fibre concrete. Method A measures the fibre content of
17、 a hardened concrete specimen. Method B measures the fibre content of a fresh concrete specimen. !This European Standard does not apply to sprayed concrete.“ 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only t
18、he edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12350-6, Testing fresh concrete Part 6: Density EN 12390-7, Testing hardened concrete Part 7: Density of hardened concrete 3 Principle Fibres are extracted from a ha
19、rdened (Method A) or fresh (Method B) concrete sample and the fibre content is determined from the mass of fibre and the volume of the concrete sample. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Method A 4.1.1 Core drill equipment, capable of extracting test cores from the hardened concrete to the volume set out in 5.1. 4.1.2
20、 Callipers and/or rules, capable of measuring the dimensions of test cores to an accuracy of 0,5 mm. 4.1.3 Balance, equipped with a stirrup for weighing the test core in both air and water to an accuracy of 10 g. 4.1.4 Water tank, fitted with a device to maintain water at a constant level and of suf
21、ficient size to allow the test core on the stirrup to be fully immersed to a constant depth. 4.1.5 Balance or scales, capable of determining the mass of the extracted metallic fibres to an accuracy of 0,5 g. 4.2 Method B 4.2.1 Container, watertight, of sufficient rigidity to retain its shape, made o
22、f metal not readily attacked by cement paste, having a smooth internal face, with the rim machined to a plane surface. The rim and base shall be parallel. The smallest dimension of the container shall be at least four times the maximum nominal size of the coarse aggregate in the concrete, but shall
23、be not less than 150 mm. The volume of the container shall be not less than 3 . 4.2.2 Scoop, or similar sampling device, made from non-absorbent material not readily attacked by cement paste, suitable for taking increments of concrete. BS EN 14721:2005+A1:2007 (E) 5 4.2.3 Means of compacting the con
24、crete, which may be one of the following: internal (poker) vibrator with a minimum frequency of approximately 120 Hz, the diameter of the internal vibrator not exceeding approximately one-quarter of the smallest dimension of the container; vibrating table with a minimum frequency of approximately 40
25、 Hz. 4.2.4 Steel trowel or float. 4.2.5 Balance or scales, capable of determining the mass of the extracted metallic fibres to an accuracy of 0,5 g. 4.2.6 Sieve or filter equipment, suitable for washing out cement and other fine materials from fresh concrete. 5 Test specimens 5.1 Method A - Hardened
26、 specimen The hardened test specimen shall consist of 3 or more test cores obtained in accordance with 6.1.1. The volume of a test core shall be 1 or more. The volume of the test specimen shall be 5 or more. 5.2 Method B - Fresh specimen The fresh test specimen shall consist of 3 or more test sample
27、s obtained in accordance with 6.1.2. The volume of each test sample shall be 3 or more. 6 Testing procedures 6.1 Sampling 6.1.1 Method A 6.1.1.1 Drilling cores The cores shall be drilled perpendicular to the product surface. The drill shall be kept positioned rigidly during coring. 6.1.2 Method B 6.
28、1.2.1 Filling the container Clean all the apparatus to use. Using the scoop take the required number of increments from the discharging stream of concrete from the mixer, disregarding the very first part and the very last part. When sampling from a falling stream, take the increments in such a way a
29、s to represent the whole width and thickness of the stream. Deposit the increments into the container. 6.1.2.2 Compacting the concrete Immediately after placing in the container, the concrete shall be compacted, if necessary, in a manner comparable to that used in the application. BS EN 14721:2005+A
30、1:2007 (E) 6 6.2 Volume of sample 6.2.1 Method A - Hardened sample The volume of each test core shall be determined by calculation using measured values of actual dimensions or by water displacement in compliance with EN 12390-7. The volume V of the test core shall be expressed to the nearest 0,02 .
31、 6.2.2 Method B - Fresh sample The volume of the container shall be obtained by calibration in compliance with EN 12350-6. The volume of each test sample shall be determined by one of either following methods. In case the container is completely filled after compaction, the concrete shall be levelle
32、d off, using the steel trowel or float. Then the volume of the fresh sample is equal to the volume of the container. In case the container is not completely filled after compacting the concrete, the container shall be placed on a horizontal surface and the volume of water required to fill the contai
33、ner shall be measured. Then the volume of the fresh sample is equal to the volume of the container less the volume of the water added. The volume V of the test sample shall be expressed to the nearest 0,02 . 6.3 Mass of fibre 6.3.1 Method A - Hardened sample Each test core shall be crushed in a comp
34、ression testing machine, or other suitable device, so that all the fibres can be separated from the concrete. Magnetic fibres may be collected by using a magnet. The collected fibres shall be thoroughly cleaned and then weighed. The mass m of the fibres shall be expressed to the nearest 0,5 g. 6.3.2
35、 Method B - Fresh sample Each test sample shall be placed in a sieve or filter equipment where the cement and other fine materials can be washed out so that the fibres can be separated from the mass. Magnetic fibres may be collected directly or after washing out by using a magnet. The collected fibr
36、es shall be cleaned, dried and then weighed. The mass m of the fibres shall be expressed to the nearest 0,5 g. BS EN 14721:2005+A1:2007 (E) 7 7 Expression of results The fibre content shall be calculated from the determined fibre mass and sample volume, using the formula: VmC f=where Cfis the fibre
37、content, in kg/m3; m is the mass of fibre extracted from the sample, in g; V is the volume of the sample, in . 8 Test report The test report shall include: a) identification of the test specimen; b) description of the method (A or B) and in case of method B the placing and compacting procedure used;
38、 c) volume of each sample to the nearest 0,02 ; d) mass of the fibres in each sample to the nearest 0,5 g; e) the calculated fibre content of each sample to the nearest kg/m3; f) the average value of the fibre content to the nearest kg/m3; g) reference to this European Standard; h) any deviation fro
39、m the standard testing method; i) !place and date of testing, testing institute and person responsible for testing;“ j) a declaration from the person technically responsible for the test that the testing was carried out in accordance with this standard, except for the indicated deviation(s). The tes
40、t report may include the identification and/or description of the fibre type. 9 Precision Beside the following indicative data, no precision data in terms of repeatability or reproducibility are available. In case of method A a loss up to 5 % of the mass of fibres may occur in the process of crushin
41、g and collecting. In case of method B no fibre loss occurs.
