Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates – Determination of compressibility and confined compressive strength of lightweight aggregates
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2013 | 18 |
This European Standard specifies the reference method used for type testing, and in case of dispute, for determining the compressibility and confined compressive strength of lightweight aggregates (LWA). For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
The test is applicable to LWA passing the 32 mm sieve.
