(Main)Common rules for precast concrete products
Common rules for precast concrete products
This European Standard specifies the terminology, requirements, basic performance criteria, test methods and evaluation of conformity that will be referred to by specific product standards unless they are not appropriate. It may also be used to specify products for which there is no standard. Not all of the requirements (clause 4) of this standard are relevant to all precast products.
If a specific precast concrete product standard exists it takes precedence over this standard.
The precast products dealt with in this standard are factory produced for buildings and civil engineering works. This standard may also be applied to products manufactured in temporary plants on site if the production is protected against adverse weather conditions and controlled following clause 6 provisions.
The analysis and design of precast concrete products is not within the scope of this standard but it does offer information about :
- the choice of partial safety factors defined by the Eurocode;
- the rules for applying calculations to high strength concrete ;
- the definition of requirements for prestressed concrete products.
This standard applies to concrete compacted so as to retain no appreciable amount of entrapped air other than entrained air and with a dry density equal to or greater than 800 kg/m3.
Allgemeine Regeln für Betonfertigteile
Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt Begriffe, Anforderungen, grundlegende Leistungskriterien, Prüfverfahren
sowie Verfahren zur Konformitätsbewertung fest, auf die in speziellen Produktnormen Bezug zu nehmen
ist, sofern diese geeignet sind. Diese Norm kann auch für spezielle Produkte, für die es keine Produkt-
norm gibt, verwendet werden. Nicht alle Anforderungen dieser Norm (Abschnitt 4) sind für sämtliche
Betonfertigteile zutreffend.
Wenn eine spezielle Produktnorm für ein Betonfertigteil vorliegt, hat sie Vorrang gegenüber dieser Norm.
Die in der vorliegenden Norm behandelten Betonfertigteile sind werkmäßig hergestellte Teile für den
Hoch- und Ingenieurbau. Diese Norm kann auch für Produkte angewendet werden, die in temporären
Anlagen auf der Baustelle hergestellt werden, wenn die Herstellung gegen ungünstige Witterungs-
einflüsse geschützt ist und nach den Festlegungen in Abschnitt 6 kontrolliert wird.
Die Berechnung und Bemessung von Betonfertigteilen gehören nicht zum Anwendungsbereich der vor-
liegenden Norm. Es werden jedoch Informationen gegeben zu:
- Auswahl der Teilsicherheitsbeiwerte, die im Eurocode festgelegt sind;
- Regeln für die Durchführung von Berechnungen für hochfesten Beton;
- Festlegung der Anforderungen für vorgespannte Betonfertigteile.
Diese Norm gilt für Beton, der so verdichtet wurde, dass er außer den Luftporen keine nennenswerten
Lufteinschlüsse und eine Trockenrohdichte von U 800 kg=m 3 aufweist.
EN 13369:2001 (D)
Règles communes pour les produits préfabriqués en béton
La présente Norme indique la terminologie, les prescriptions, les critères relatifs aux performances de base, les méthodes de vérification et d'évaluation de la conformité qui doivent servir aux normes de produits spécifiques sauf si elles ne sont pas appropriées. Elle peut aussi être utilisée pour spécifier des produits pour lesquels il n'existe pas de norme. Les prescriptions (chapitre 4) de la norme ne sont pas toutes applicables à l'ensemble des produits préfabriqués en béton.
Si une norme spécifique pour un produit préfabriqué en béton existe déjà, elle a priorité sur la présente norme.
Les produits préfabriqués considérés dans la présente norme sont fabriqués en usine et destinés à des bâtiments ou des ouvrages de génie civil. La présente norme peut également être appliquée à des éléments fabriqués dans des usines temporaires sur un chantier, si la fabrication est protégée contre les conditions environnementales néfastes et contrôlée suivant les exigences du chapitre 6.
L'analyse et la conception de produits préfabriqués en béton ne sont pas inclus dans cette norme mais elle donne des informations sur :
- le choix de coefficients de sécurité partiels définis par l'Eurocode ;
- les règles à appliquer pour les calculs concernant le béton à haute résistance ;
- la définition de prescriptions pour les produits en béton précontraint.
La présente norme s'applique au béton de densité sèche égale ou supérieure à 800 kg/m3, compacté de manière à ne pas retenir une quantité significative d'air autre que l'air occlus.

For design purposes the propertiesof concrete strength classes up to C50/60 are given in Table 3.1 of ENV 1992-1-1:1991. Table 3.101 of ENV 1992-1-3:1994 gives the properties for the classes C55/67 and C60/75. Conditions for use of classes C70/85 and C80/95are given in 4.3.3.1.The producer can select intermediate classes, in 1,0 N/mm2 steps of the characteristic cylinder strength. In thiscase the concrete properties are obtained by linear interpolation.For reinforced or prestressed precast products the minimum grade of concrete shall be : C20/25 for reinforced products ; C30/37 for prestressed products.4.2.2.2 Compressive strengthThe compressive strength to verify the class of concrete is determined from the potential strength; the manufacturermay alternatively use direct structural strength or indirect structural strength at his discretion.4.2.2.2.1 Potential strengthThe compressive potential strength of concrete is tested at 28 days. Supplementary tests of early strengths may bemade before 28 days, when required by special operations of the production process (prestressing, demoulding,lifting, .).The manufacturer may perform tests of compressive potential strength before 28 days.For determination of potential strength EN 206-1:2000, 5.5.1.1 and 5.5.1.2 apply. 5.1.1 of this standard givesadditional requirements.SIST EN 13369:2002

Ifsuch information is not available, the following production tolerances may be assumed for structural purposes. Forother aspects than structural strength different tolerances may be specified.For cross-sectional dimensions L the permitted deviation is L, and for position of reinforcing steel, prestressingsteel and for the design cover c the permitted deviation is c.SIST EN 13369:2002
