ABSTRACT

Test specimens are cut out of the core of three AAC blocks of nominally the same strength class and of the same dimensions, i.e. three prisms out of each block to be tested for creep, shrinkage and compressive strength. The prisms shall have the dimensions 300×100×100 mm (L×W×H) and shall be cut out of the blocks in such a way that their longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the rising direction of the material.
