Any surface anomalies, damage, or deviations from the standard process. Why Compliance Matters: The Engineering Impact
Distribute strokes uniformly across the cross-section of the mould. The standard requires a specific minimum number of strokes per layer (typically 25 strokes for standard cubes) to ensure total compaction through the entire depth. Step 4: Leveling and Finishing
Are you troubleshooting on a current project?
Compaction expels entrapped air. The standard allows for different methods:
BS EN 12390-2:2019 is a British Standard (BS) and European Norm (EN) that outlines the testing methods for hardened concrete. Specifically, it covers the determination of the compressive strength of hardened concrete. The standard is published by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and is widely adopted across Europe and beyond.
The concrete must be filled in layers to ensure full density without segregation. Acceptable compaction methods include:
This report provides a general overview of BS EN 12390-2:2019 and should not be considered a substitute for the actual standard. It is essential to consult the standard and relevant regulatory requirements for specific guidance on making and curing concrete specimens.
Once removed from the moulds, the specimens must be immediately transferred to their permanent curing environment. BS EN 12390-2:2019 allows two primary methods:
Submerge the specimens completely in a water tank. The water temperature must be strictly maintained at 20 °C ± 2 °C .
Clearer documentation and report requirements to ensure complete traceability. 2. Key Equipment Requirements
By enforcing strict quality control during the casting and curing phases as mandated by BS EN 12390-2:2019, stakeholders ensure that the lab results genuinely reflect the potential strength of the concrete delivered to the structure.
Compliance with BS EN 12390-2:2019 offers several benefits, including:
