Overview
EN 1737:1998 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the method for determining the shear strength of welded joints in reinforcement mats or cages. These reinforcements are designed specifically for use in prefabricated components made of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) or lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) with an open structure. The standard ensures the quality and reliability of welded joints used in concrete reinforcement, which is crucial for the structural integrity of building elements manufactured with AAC or LAC.
This testing method supports compliance with related European standards such as prEN 12602 for AAC and prEN 1520 for LAC, ensuring uniformity in the assessment of welded reinforcement joints across the industry.
Key Topics
Welded Joint Shear Strength
Defines procedures to test the shear resistance of welded joints in steel reinforcing mats or cages, critical in mechanical performance.Reinforcement Mats and Cages
Focuses on welded assemblies used as reinforcement for prefabricated structural components, improving their load-bearing capacity.Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC)
Addresses testing relevant to reinforcements embedded in AAC, a lightweight, durable, and thermally efficient building material.Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LAC) with Open Structure
Covers reinforcements used in LAC elements, which are lighter than traditional concrete and offer specific thermal and acoustic benefits.Standardized Testing Procedure
Establishes repeatable and reliable methods to obtain consistent test results for welded joint performance.
Applications
Prefab Concrete Manufacturing
Ensures that welded reinforcement joints used in prefabricated AAC and LAC components meet structural safety requirements.Structural Engineering
Provides engineers with validated data on joint strength for design optimization and safety verification in building construction.Quality Control and Certification
Serves as a benchmark for manufacturers to certify reinforcement products, enhancing trust and market acceptance.Construction Projects Utilizing Lightweight Concrete
Supports the use of AAC and LAC in commercial and residential applications by affirming reinforcement joint integrity.
