Precast concrete products - Beam-and-block floor systems - Part 5: Lightweight blocks for simple formwork

This European Standard deals with the requirements and the basic performance criteria for lightweight blocks used as formwork during the construction of the floor system. The blocks are used in conjunction with precast concrete beams in compliance with EN 15037-1, with or without cast-in-situ concrete for the construction of beam-and-block floor systems.
This European Standard does not deal with blocks made in polystyrene, with or without tong, or combined with different materials where polystyrene contributes to more than 50 % of the mechanical resistance of the block. These blocks are covered by EN 15037-4, Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems  Part 4: Expanded polystyrene blocks.
Examples of typology of floor systems are given in Annex B of EN 15037-1:2008.

Die Zwischenbauteile werden zusammen mit vorgefertigten Betonbalken nach EN 15037 1 mit oder ohne Ortbeton zur Herstellung von Balkendecken mit Zwischenbauteilen verwendet.
Diese europäische Norm behandelt keine Zwischenbauteile aus Polystyrolhartschaum, mit oder ohne Zange, oder in Kombination mit unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen, bei denen der Anteil von Polystyrolhartschaum an der mechanischen Festigkeit des Zwischenbauteils mehr als 50 % beträgt. Diese Zwischenbauteile sind durch EN 15037 4, Betonfertigteile — Balkendecken mit Zwischenbauteilen — Teil 4: Zwischenbauteile aus Polystyrolhartschaum abgedeckt.
EN 15037 1:2008, Anhang B, enthält Beispiele für die verschiedenen Typen von Deckensystemen.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions et les critères de performance de base relatifs aux entrevous fabriqués à partir de matériaux légers servant de coffrage pendant la construction du système de plancher. Les entrevous sont utilisés conjointement avec des poutrelles préfabriquées en béton conformes à l’EN 15037-1, avec ou sans béton coulé en place, pour la construction de systèmes de planchers à poutrelles et entrevous.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des entrevous en polystyrène, avec ou sans languette, ou constitués de plusieurs matériaux où le polystyrène contribue pour plus de 50 % à la résistance mécanique de l’entrevous. Ces entrevous sont traités dans l’EN 15037-4, Produits préfabriqués en béton - Systèmes de planchers à poutrelles et entrevous - Partie 4 : Entrevous en polystyrène expansé.
