1 Scope
This document specifies a method for determining the compressive strength of agglomerated stones.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references,
only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
EN 197-1, Cement - Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria for common cements
EN 12390, Testing hardened concrete
EN 14618:2003, Agglomerated stone- Terminology and classification
3 Principle
The specimens, after mechanical preparation of the surfaces or, if needed, after capping, are laid and centred on
the plate of a testing machine. A uniformly distributed load is applied and increased continuously until failure occurs.
4 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 14618:2003 apply.
5 Symbols
h height of the specimen, in millimetres;
l mean value of the lateral dimension, i.e. the distance between opposite vertical faces of the specimen (if
cubic), in millimetres;
d mean value of the diameter of the specimen (if cylindrical), in millimetres;
A cross-sectional area of the specimen before testing, in square millimetres;
F failure load, in newtons;
R uniaxial compressive strength of the specimen, in MPa;
R mean value of the uniaxial compressive strength, in MPa;
s
standard deviation;
v coefficient of variation.
6 Apparatus
6.1 A surface grinder.
6.2 A lapping machine if final preparation of the specimens is needed.
