According to the CENICENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of
17、the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This standard is one of a series
18、concerned with testing concrete. During the 1980s a number of countries found it necessary to introduce standards to specify more precisely the performance of compression machines for testing concrete specimens. This standard has been written to continue this movement and to overcome the present lac
19、k of a European Standard. A drafl for this standard was published in 1996 for CEN enquiry as prEN 12390. It was one of a series of individually numbered test methods for fresh or hardened concrete. For convenience it has now been decided to combine these separate drafl standards into three new stand
20、ards with separate parts for each method, as follows: - Testing fresh concrete (EN 12350); - Testing hardened concrete (EN 12390); - Testing concrete in structures (EN 12504). Q BSI 07-2000 Page 3 EN 123904:2000 This series, EN 12390, includes the following parts where the brackets give the numbers
21、under which the particular test methods were published for CEN enquiry: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: Part 6: Part 7: Part 8: Shape, dimensions and other requirements of specimens and moulds (former prEN 12356:1996); Making and curing specimens for strength tests (former prEN 12379:1996);
22、Compressive strength of test specimens (former prEN 12394:1996); Compressive strength - Specification for testing machines (former prEN 12390:1996); Flexural strength of test specimens (former prEN 12359:1996); Tensile splitting strength of test specimens (former prEN 12362:1996); Density of hardene
23、d concrete (former prEN 12363:1996); Depth of penetration of water under pressure (former prEN 12364:1996). Three classes of testing machines are currently recognized, corresponding to scale accuracies of 1 %, 2 % and 3 %. It is evident that these accuracy classes have a direct impact upon the accur
24、acy of the test result and it is a matter for each country to decide whether to limit the range of machine classes to, for example, 1 % and 2 %. The requirement in this standard for the manner of force transfer is also important with regard to the effect upon measured compressive strength. However,
25、the requirement can be difficult to satisfy on some older testing machines. It is therefore a matter for each country to decide whether, at present, this requirement shall apply only to new machines as wriien in this standard or whether it shall appiy immediately to all machines. The requirements fo
26、r testing machines set out in this standard have been formulated to satisfy the needs of those compressive tests on concrete specimens which are specified in EN 206. Machines conforming to this standard can be suitable for other uses, but this needs to be carefully considered on an individual test b
27、asis. Particular care needs to be taken before using machines conforming to this standard for compressive tests on small specimens, e.g. those with lateral dimensions significantly less than 100 mm. The main concern is that the ball-seating fitted to the upper platen can be too large to align satisf
28、actorily on the top of such small specimens and special adaptations can be required. Another concern is the ability to accurately determine the failure load of small or low strength specimens. I Scope This standard specifies the requirements for the performance of compression testing machines for th
29、e measurement of the compressive strength of concrete. 2 References This European Standard incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications.
