Overview
EN 1739:2007 is a CEN European standard that specifies laboratory methods to determine the shear strength for in‑plane forces of joints between prefabricated components made of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) or lightweight aggregate concrete with open structure (LAC). The standard defines specimen preparation, testing apparatus and procedures, data capture (load–displacement), calculation of shear strength and reporting requirements. It supersedes EN 1739:1998 and supports product performance verification for prefabricated AAC/LAC elements.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Tests longitudinal joints between adjacent prefabricated AAC (prEN 12602) or LAC (EN 1520) components under in‑plane shear.
- Specimens: Typical specimen comprises two connected parts with thickness t and length l = 150 mm; standard widths w1 = 100 mm and w2 = 200 mm (total w = 300 mm plus joint thickness). Mechanical joint systems may use larger dimensions while keeping width:length ratio = 1.
- Number of tests: Minimum three specimens per test set.
- Conditioning and age: AAC parts allowed to cool ≥2 days after autoclaving before assembling; LAC parts aged ≥21 days before assembly and ≥28 days at testing. Required minimum moisture content: ≥6% for AAC, ≥4% for LAC (checked after testing).
- Apparatus & measurement: Compression testing machine or hydraulic jack with ±3% load accuracy; displacement transducer/dial gauge with 0.01 mm reading accuracy; loading frames, steel plates/rollers and soft interlayers where needed.
- Procedure: Apply in‑plane shear load (continuous or stepped) until joint failure, record load‑displacement, observe crack patterns and joint filling (for grouted joints). Loading rate targeted to produce failure in ~10–20 minutes for continuous loading.
- Results & calculation: Shear strength τu is calculated from the failure load Fu using the standard’s specified formulas for different test setups. Results rounded to the third significant figure and accompanied by load–displacement diagrams.
- Report content: Detailed identification, specimen preparation, joint drawings, material properties (density, compressive strength), moisture content, grouting recipe (if used), failure loads and observations.
Applications and users
- Who uses it: Product manufacturers of prefabricated AAC/LAC elements, structural engineers, testing laboratories, quality assurance teams, and certification bodies.
- Practical value: Verifies joint performance for wall panels, load‑bearing elements and prefabricated assemblies; supports design validation, product development, QA/QC, conformity assessment and forensic investigation of joint failures.
