NOTE 2. Systems in which the varying length chan

In addition, a ventilated drying oven capable of maintaining a temperature of (40 to 60)“C can be helpful for conditioning of test specimens. 5 Est specimens 6.1 Sample The sample for the preparatio
24、n of the test specimens (usually at least one prefabricated component) shall be taken in such a manner that it is representative of the product to be investigated. 6.2 Shape and size of test specimens The reference test specimens shall be prisms with a squarec- on of 100 mm X 100 mm and a height of
25、300 mm. lst specimens of other sizes or shape may be used, provided that the correlation to the resuits of tests on the above reference test specimens is established. 6.3 Number of test specimens At least two test specimens for determimion of creep (creep specimens) and two control specimens for det
26、ermination of shrinkage shall be prepared from the centrai part of the component (see ngUre 1). 6.4 Preparation of test specimens The specimens shall be cut not less than 2 d after autoclaving or casting, respectively The dust or the sluny of the process shall be removed They shall be taken in such
27、a way that their longitudinai axis is: - in the case of AAC - in the case of LAC perpendicular to the rise of the mass during the manufacture; in the piane of the compression force acting in the component when used in the structure. The specimens shal contain no reinforcing bars within the gauge len
28、gth. (If unavoidable, bars which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis may be accepted in exceptional cases. This shall be mentioned in the test report.) The loadbearing surfaces of the creep specimens shall be plane, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitujnal surfaces of the s
29、pecimens. Planeness of loadbearing surfaces sha be checked across the two diagonals using a straightedge and, if nece-, a feeler gauge. Deviations exceeding 0,2 mm shall be adjusted by cutting andor grindmg or by capping. In the case of LAC, deviations up to 0,s mm may be tolerated, provided that eq
30、ualizing layers of soft fibreboard according to 4e) are used. Deviations from planeness of the other surfaces shall not exceed 1 mm. The angle between the loadbearing surfaces and the adjacent longitudid surfaces of the creep specimens shall not daiate from a right angle by more than 1 m per 100 m.
31、This shall be checked dong both orthogonal middle axes of the loadbeakg surfaces by means of a square and a 1 mm-feeler gauge or similar instrument. Larger deviations shall be corrected by cutting or grinding. Direction of rise (for AAC)- Figure 1. Sampling scheme O BSI 1997 STD-BSI BS EN 1355-ENGL
32、1997 1624bb9 0b1i7052 857 9 6.6 Measurement of test specimens The dimensions of the creep specimens and control specimens shall be measured to an accuracy of 0,l nun, using callipers. Length and width of the cross-sectional area, Ac, shall be measured at mid height at two opposite longitudinal sides
33、. The cross-seCtiona area shall be calculated using the mean values of the results of the measurements. The height of the specimens shall be measured in the middle of two opposite longitudinal sides. The volume Vof the specimen shall be calculated by multiplying Ac by the mean value of the results o
34、f the height measurements. 6.6 Conditioning of specimens The test specimens shall be conditioned at a temperature not exceeding 60 “C unti their mass related moisture content is (6 f 2) W This may be estimated by comparing their moist density with the dry density determined in accordance with EN 678
35、 for AAC or with EN 992 for LAC, respectively, on companion specimens exh.acted from the same area of the same component (see note). After reaching the specified moisture content, the test specimens shall be stored, protected against moisture changes, for at least 72 h prior to the test at (20 f 2)
36、“C for ensuring uniform moisture distribution withjn the test specimen and thtrmal equiibrium with the temperature in the iaborahry During the creep test the test specimens shail be exposed to the surrounding air with a temperature of (20 f 2) “C and a relative humidity of (60 f 5) %. Conditions oth
37、er than the above reference conditions may be chosen if required. This shall be indicated in the test report. The actual moisture content of the specimens at the beginning and at the end of the creep test and the dry density shall be determined For this purpose the specimens shall be weighed prior t
38、o the creep test, before applying any devices for measurement of deformations and after completion of the creep test, after removal of gauge plugs etc. Fh-diy, they shall be dried to constant mass at (105 f 5) “C (see clause 7). if the removal of the adhesive xed gauge plugs is likely to remove conc
39、rete, the initiai mass of the test specimen with and without gauge plugs shall be taken, and the appropriate correction shall be made in the calculations. NOTE. The expected moisture content of a test specimen may be calculated according to equation (1): Page 5 EN 1355 : 1996 where Pm,exp Phum,t is
40、the expected mass related moisture content, in per cent; = ?nh, / V is the moist density of the test specimen, calculated by dividing its moist mass ?nhm by its volume V determined according to 6.6, in kilograms per cubic metre; is the dry density of companion specimens determined according to EN 67
41、8 (for AAC) or EN 992 (for LAC), in kograms per cubic metre. Pcomp 6 Creep test 6.1 Age at loading and duration of sustained load In the case of AAC the age at loading is optional. In the case of LAC the creep specimens shall be loaded at an age of 28 d, if not specified otherwise. The applied load
42、shall be sustained constant, in general for a period of at least 1 a It may be necessary to continue the test for a longer period, if the deformations are stiil increasing at a considerable rate at that time. 6.2 Loading details Immediately before loading the creep specimens the compressive strength
43、 of the concrete shall be determined, according to EN 679 for AAC or EN 1354 for LAC, respectively, on test specimens taken from the same sample. At the time creep specimens are placed in the loading frame, the end faces of the control specimens for shnnkage measurement shall be covered in order to
44、provide the same drymg conditions as for the creep specimens. The creep specimens shall be placed in the loading frame taking care in aiigning the specimens to avoid excenttic loading. In the case of LAC, provided that the creep specimens have not been ground or capped and the deviations from planen
45、ess of the loadbearing surfaces exceed 0,2 mm, equalizing layers of soft fibreboard, as specified in 4e), shall be inserted between the loadbearing faces of the creep specimens and the header plates of the loadrig he, and also between the individual creep specimens, if severai specimens are stacked
46、in one loading frame. After proper aiigning the creep specimens (see note) the load shall be applied at the specified intensity which is usually chosen such that the resulting stress is one third of the strength at the age of loading, but not more than 40 % of that value.

47、55-ENGL 1777 lb2Llbb7 Ob97053 793 W Page 6 EN 1355 : 1996 The duration of loading process should be as short as practicable and shall in no case exceed 15 min. Strain readings shall be taken immediately before and after loading, 2 h to 6h later, after 1 d and then at appropriate intervals, in genera
48、l until at 1 a, so that the curve representing the development of strains with time can be reliably recorded. Before each strain measurement, the load shall be controlled and adjusted, if deviating by more than 2 % from the correct value. Strain readlligs on the control specimens shall be taken on t
49、he same schedule as for the loaded specimens. NOTE. For control of centric loading it may be helpful to apply a smaii preload not exceeding 25 % of the nal sustained load and to note the strain variation around each creep specimen, after which, if necessary, the load may be removed and the specimens realigned for greater strain uniformity. Strain distribution may also be influenced by tightening or loosening the nuts on the threaded reaction rods if this type of loading frame is used (see note 1 in clause 4). If possible, the strain variation arou
