Overview

SIST EN 1052-2:2016 is a European standard published by CEN that defines the methods for determining the flexural strength of masonry. It applies specifically to small masonry specimens tested along the two principal axes of loading. This standard provides detailed guidance on specimen preparation, conditioning, testing procedures, calculation methods, and reporting requirements, ensuring consistent and reliable assessment of masonry flexural strength across industry laboratories.

Key objectives of this standard include establishing precise test conditions, ensuring reproducibility, and facilitating comparison of masonry performance. Flexural strength determination helps assess the ability of masonry to resist bending forces, a critical property for structural safety and durability.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Purpose

    • Testing flexural strength of masonry using small specimens.
    • Focus on two principal axes of loading for comprehensive evaluation.
  • Specimen Preparation and Conditioning

    • Masonry units are conditioned according to specified moisture and curing parameters.
    • Mortar mixing procedures and consistence tests ensure representative bonding conditions.
    • Specimens built within strict timelines and cured under controlled environments for 28 days (or as alternative for lime-based mortar).
  • Testing Apparatus and Setup

    • Use of a calibrated testing machine with defined error limits and load application rates.
    • Four-point bending setup with precise bearing placements.
    • Specimens tested vertically or horizontally with detailed guidance on positioning and support to avoid friction or handling damage.
  • Testing Procedure

    • Load application rate between 0.03 and 0.3 N/mm² per minute until failure.
    • Record maximum load, crack location, time to failure, and specimen dimensions.
    • Repeat tests until at least five valid results per loading direction are obtained.
  • Calculations and Evaluation

    • Flexural strength calculated using formulas accounting for specimen size and loading configuration.
    • Mean and characteristic flexural strengths derived statistically, including consideration of standard deviations and sample size.
  • Reporting Requirements

    • Comprehensive test report content including laboratory details, specimen description, curing, mortar and masonry properties, loading data, and test results.

Applications

SIST EN 1052-2:2016 is instrumental in:

  • Structural Design and Safety Assessment
    Engineers and designers use flexural strength data to evaluate masonry performance under bending stresses, guiding the design of safer masonry structures.

  • Quality Control in Construction
    Manufacturers and contractors apply these testing methods to verify compliance of masonry products with performance standards before and during construction.

  • Material Development and Research
    Researchers use the test protocols to compare new masonry materials and mortars, optimizing mixtures for enhanced flexural strength and durability.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Ensures uniform assessment methods across European countries, facilitating trade and certification of masonry units and mortars.

  • Failure Analysis and Diagnostics
    Identifying weak points in masonry design or construction methods by examining flexural strength failure characteristics.

Related Standards

Compliance with SIST EN 1052-2:2016 is typically supported by adherence to complementary European standards covering related properties of masonry units and mortar, including:

  • EN 772-1 - Determination of compressive strength of masonry units
  • EN 772-10 - Determination of moisture content in certain masonry units
  • EN 998-2 - Specification for mortar for masonry
  • EN 1015-3 - Determination of mortar consistence by flow table
  • EN 1015-7 - Determination of air content of fresh mortar
