EN 15037-1 Precast Concrete Products - Standard Test Method for Beams

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 15037-1 test. This European standard addresses the requirements, basic performance criteria and conformity assessment for precast beams used in combination with blocks, made of reinforced or prestressed normal or lightweight concrete, with or without clay shell, according to EN 1992-1-1.

EN 15037-1 is a European standard that provides requirements and test methods for precast concrete beams used in beam and block flooring systems. The standard applies to beams of rectangular or trapezoidal cross section typically used in residential and commercial buildings.

The standard specifies the following requirements for precast concrete beams:

• Materials: Beams must be made of high-quality concrete that meets the requirements for compressive strength, density and durability.
• Dimensions and Tolerances: Beams must have specified dimensions and tolerances to ensure proper fit and support of the floor system.
• Reinforcement: Beams should be reinforced with steel bars or wires to provide adequate strength and rigidity.
• Surface Finish: Beams should have a smooth and uniform surface finish that does not affect the performance of the floor system.
• Test: Beams must be tested for compressive strength, flexural strength and other properties to ensure compliance with the standard.

EN 15037-1 also provides guidance on the design and installation of beam and block flooring systems using precast concrete beams. This includes information about the spacing of the joists, the use of mattress pads, and the installation of insulation and other components.

Overall, EN 15037-1 provides a comprehensive set of requirements and test methods to ensure the quality and safety of precast concrete beams used in beam and block floor systems.
