This document:
— gives methods and procedures for the estimation of thein situcompressive strength and
characteristicin situcompressive strength of concrete in structures and precast concrete components using direct methods (core testing) and indirect methods, e.g. ultra-sonic pulse velocity, rebound number;
NOTE To align with the design standard EN 1992-1-1, where the compressive strength is based on 2:1
cylinders, thein situcompressive strength is based in 2:1 cores of diameter ≥ 75 mm.
— provides principles and guidance for establishing the relationships between test results from
indirect test methods and the in situ compressive strength;
— provides procedures and guidance for assessing the conformity with the compressive strength class
of concrete supplied to structures under construction where standard tests indicate doubt or
where the quality of execution is in doubt.Cross References:EN 12504-2EN 12504-1EN 13670EN 12390-2EN 12390-3EN 12350-1EN 12504-4EN 1990:2002EN 206:2013+A1:2016EN 13369:2018EN 1992-1-1:2004CEN/TR 17086ISO/IEC 17025EN 12390-7EN 1998-3All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
