Prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete

This European Standard is for prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete to be used in building construction for:
a)   Structural elements:
-   loadbearing wall components;
-   retaining wall components;
-   roof components;
-   floor components;
-   linear components (beams and piers).
b)   Non-structural elements:
-   non-loadbearing wall components (partition walls);
-   cladding components (without fixtures) intended to be used for external facades of buildings;
-   small box culverts used to form channels for the enclosure of services;
-   components for noise barriers.
Depending on the type and intended use of elements for which the components are utilized, the components can be applied - in addition to their loadbearing and encasing function - for purposes of fire resistance, sound insulation and thermal insulation indicated in the relevant clauses of this European Standard.
Components covered by this standard are only intended to be subjected to predominantly non-dynamic actions, unless special measures are introduced in the relevant clauses of this European Standard.
The term "reinforced" relates to reinforcement used for both structural and non-structural purposes.
This European Standard does not cover:
-   rules for the application of these components in structures;
-   joints (except their strength and integrity E of resistance to fire);
-   fixtures;
-   finishes for external components, such as tiling.
NOTE   AAC components may be used in noise barriers if they are designed to fulfil also the requirements of EN 14388.

Komponente, ki jih zajema ta standard, se lahko izpostavljajo predvsem nedinamičnim vplivom, razen če so v ustreznih točkah tega evropskega standarda predstavljeni posebni ukrepi. Izraz »armirani« je povezan z armaturo, ki se uporablja za gradbene in negradbene namene. Ta evropski standard ne zajema: – pravil za uporabo teh komponent v konstrukcijah; – spojev (razen njihove trdnosti in integritete E za požarno odpornost); – priključkov; – apretur za zunanje komponente, kot so ploščice.

Overview

EN 12602:2016 - Prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) - is the European standard specifying requirements for prefabricated reinforced AAC components used in building construction. It covers both structural elements (loadbearing walls, retaining walls, roofs, floors, beams and piers) and non‑structural elements (partition walls, cladding, small box culverts, and components for noise barriers). The standard applies to components subject to predominantly non‑dynamic actions and addresses performance for fire resistance, thermal insulation and sound insulation where relevant.

Key topics and technical requirements

EN 12602:2016 sets out technical content including:

• Material properties: AAC constituent materials, dry density, compressive/tensile/flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, thermal conductivity, drying shrinkage, creep and moisture properties.
• Reinforcement and bond: Requirements for structural and non‑structural reinforcement (steel types, coating, effective diameters) and bond behavior between reinforcement and AAC.
• Component properties: Dimensional tolerances, mass, stability, load‑bearing capacity, deflection limits, joint strength and minimum performance requirements.
• Durability: Environmental exposure classes, corrosion protection of reinforcement, freeze–thaw resistance and long‑term performance.
• Design and verification: Basis for design (limit states), Annex A design by calculation (bending, shear, buckling, punching, torsion), and guidance on thermal prestress.
• Assessment & AVCP: Type testing, test sample criteria, Factory Production Control (FPC) requirements, initial inspection and continuous surveillance.
• Marking and documentation: Standard designation, production details and accompanying documentation requirements.

Excluded from the standard are rules for applying components in structures, joints (except strength/integrity for fire resistance), fixtures and external finishes like tiling.

Practical applications and users

EN 12602:2016 is essential for:

• Manufacturers of prefabricated AAC components to demonstrate compliance, set factory control and declare properties.
• Structural and façade engineers specifying AAC load‑bearing and non‑loadbearing elements for buildings, noise barriers and service culverts.
• Quality managers and testing laboratories involved in type testing, AVCP and FPC.
• Contractors and architects specifying thermal, acoustic and fire performance of AAC prefabricated elements.

Using the standard supports reliable, repeatable production of AAC components and helps integrate prefabricated AAC into safe, durable building designs.

1 Scope
This European Standard is for prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete to be
used in building construction for:
a) Structural elements:
— loadbearing wall components;
— retaining wall components;
— roof components;
— floor components;
— linear components (beams and piers).
b) Non-structural elements:
— non-loadbearing wall components (partition walls);
— cladding components (without fixtures) intended to be used for external facades of buildings;
— small box culverts used to form channels for the enclosure of services;
— components for noise barriers.
Depending on the type and intended use of elements for which the components are utilized, the components
can be applied – in addition to their loadbearing and encasing function – for purposes of fire resistance,
sound insulation and thermal insulation indicated in the relevant clauses of this European Standard.
Components covered by this standard are only intended to be subjected to predominantly non-dynamic
actions, unless special measures are introduced in the relevant clauses of this European Standard.
The term “reinforced” relates to reinforcement used for both structural and non-structural purposes.
This European Standard does not cover:
— rules for the application of these components in structures;
— joints (except their strength and integrity E of resistance to fire);
— fixtures;
— finishes for external components, such as tiling.
NOTE AAC components may be used in noise barriers if they are designed to fulfil also the requirements of
EN 14388.
