19、hear ties and slip ties embedded in mortar joints. The test is intended for ties for connecting together two leaves of masonry forming a collar jointed wall or two walls at right angles.

25、or mortar for masonry Part 11: Determination of flexural and compressive strength of hardened mortar 3 Principle One end of the tie is embedded in a mortar joint, typical of the type for which the tie is specified, between a pair (couplet) of typical masonry units. The tie is then clamped at its fre

26、e end and subjected to shear against a reactive support for the couplet. Slip ties may be tested by the same method. NOTE The method measures the capacity of the tie alone and does not measure the contribution to the total shear resistance given by two masonry faces separated by a vertical mortar jo

27、int. This value should be obtained by wallette tests if required. BS EN 846-7:2012EN 846-7:2012 (E) 5 4 Materials 4.1 Masonry units 4.1.1 Sampling and conditioning Masonry units shall be as specified. All of the masonry units for individual tests or for making the couplet specimens shall be taken fr

28、om the same consignment. Masonry units shall be in an air dried condition, unless otherwise specified. 4.1.2 Testing Determine the compressive strength of a sample of masonry units using the method given in EN 772-1. For non-autoclaved concrete units, determine the compressive strength at the time o

29、f testing the couplet specimens. Measure the moisture content by mass of AAC or Calcium silicate units in accordance with EN 772-10. For other types of units, record the method of conditioning prior to laying. 4.2 Mortar The mortar, its mixing procedure and its flow value shall conform with the requ

30、irements of EN 998-2, unless otherwise specified and these shall be reported in the test report. Take representative samples of fresh mortar from the masons board to make mortar prism specimens, to determine the flow value in accordance with EN 1015-3 and the air content in accordance with EN 1015-7

31、. Use the prism specimens to determine the mean compressive strength at the time of testing of the couplet specimens in accordance with EN 1015-11. 4.3 Ties The method of sampling shall be in accordance with EN 845-1. The minimum number of specimens shall be 10 for each direction of test, but this n

32、umber shall be doubled where both ends of asymmetrical ties are tested separately. 5 Apparatus 5.1 A means of applying and maintaining a constant compressive stress of 0,1 N/mm2 0,01 N/mm2on the couplet simulating the restraint within a masonry wall. A possible device is shown in Figures 1 and 2. 5.

33、2 A clamp for gripping the free end of the tie and applying a load. Typical clamps are shown in Figures 1 and 2. NOTE Clamping failures will invalidate the deformation measurement and therefore specially designed clamps or packing pieces may be needed for particular tie forms. The use of low melting

34、 point alloys to act as chucks is recommended for complex pressings. Some frame ties will require special clamps to deal with the nailing/screwing tab. 5.3 A test machine capable of applying the load without distortion such that the maximum load reading occurs above 20 % of the full-scale reading. T

35、he load shall be measured using a load cell device having a digital or analogue readout with a maximum error of 2 % of the full-scale reading. The device shall apply a shear force to the specimen. The upper platen of the universal test machine shall be fitted with a rigidly connected pillar and clam

36、p which is used to apply the load to the tie end as depicted in Figures 1 and 2. The couplet specimen within the pre-stressing clamp shall bear on the lower platen of the test machine and the support shall be extended through the main axis of the test BS EN 846-7:2012EN 846-7:2012 (E) 6 machine to p

37、revent any rotation of the couplet assembly. This will necessitate a restraint clamp for the horizontal test arrangement (Figure 1). Figure 1 shows the assembly arranged for a horizontal shear test and Figure 2 for vertical shear. 5.4 A means of measuring displacement of the couplet in relation to t

38、he clamp using a dial gauge or electrical linear displacement transducer as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Displacement shall be measured to the nearest 0,01 mm. Displacement shall be measured between the tie end clamp and the unit forming one half of the couplet. Displacement shall not be measured by re

39、cording the cross-head travel of the test machine. 5.5 For polymer-based (plastic) fixing components only, a controlled temperature and humidity chamber or room which may be a chamber which fits over the specimen.

44、ar as required by EN 845-1. In the case of asymmetric ties where both ends are intended to be bedded into masonry for each type of tie and ten ties shall be tested in either horizontal shear or vertical shear as required by EN 845-1. 6.2 Preparation Build the specimens on a flat horizontal surface,

45、and lay the tie or pairs of ties in the bed joints between two masonry units by normal bricklaying techniques, using a jig to ensure axial alignment of each tie. The tie shall be embedded to the intended design depth either directly in the mortar (shear tie) or in a sleeve if provided (slip tie). Al

46、ign the two stretcher faces to give a plane surface. Strike off the mortar flush with the faces of the specimen. General purpose and lightweight masonry mortar joints shall be between 8 mm and 15 mm thick. Thin layer mortar joints shall be between 1 mm and 3 mm thick. BS EN 846-7:2012EN 846-7:2012 (

47、E) 8 Two ties may be laid in large masonry units but if a splitting failure occurs in the first test, the specimen shall be discarded. Only one tie shall be laid in couplets less than 250 mm in length. Record the position of the ties in relation to any perforations, frogs or other depressions of the

48、 bed face of the units. 6.3 Storage Take appropriate steps to prevent the test specimen from drying out during the first three days after construction, e.g. by covering with polyethylene sheets, and then leave uncovered in a laboratory environment until tested. Store specimens incorporating plastic

49、fixing components at 32,5 2,5 C immediately prior to the test. Use a curing period of 7 days for thin layer mortar and 28 days for general purpose mortar. 7 Procedure 7.1 Setting specimen in test machine At the end of the curing period load the specimens into the test system or test machine such that the couplet and precompression assembly lies flat on the bottom platen of the test machine with the tie protruding. The clamping post should be attached rigidly to the top platen of the machin
