Test method for glass-fibre reinforced cement - Part 8: Cyclic weathering type test
This European Standard specifies a test method for identifying, for a given GRC formulation (constituents and their proportions in the formulation), the effect of environmental factors such as water and temperature on the change of mechanical characteristics. For other conditions of exposure, e.g. where freezing, thawing and action of thawing salt occurs, the test will be adapted.
Prüfverfahren für Glasfaserbeton - Teil 8: Prüfung der Dauerhaftigkeit im Klimazyklus- Test
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren fest, mit dem bei einer gegebenen Rezeptur (Ausgangsstoffe
und Zusammensetzung) für Glasfaserbeton (GFB) der Einfluss von Umweltfaktoren wie Feuchte und Wärme
auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften ermittelt werden kann. Für weitere Witterungsbedingungen z. B. Frost-
Tau-Beanspruchungen und Tausalz-Beanspruchungen wird das Prüfverfahren entsprechend angepasst.
Méthode d'essai des composites ciment-verre - Partie 8 : Essai type de durabilité par cycle
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d’essai permettant d’identifier, pour une formulation
de CCV donnée (constituants et leur proportion dans le mélange), l’incidence des facteurs environnementaux
comme l’eau et la température sur l’évolution des caractéristiques mécaniques. Pour d'autres conditions
d'exposition, par exemple le gel, le dégel et l'action de sels de déverglaçage, l'essai sera adapté en
conséquence.
