• Each test specimen comprises two cellular concrete blocks of elongate shape, in a longitudinal direction Y, and superimposed, in a direction of height Z.
• Each specimen comprises a layer of masonry binder to bind together the two superimposed blocks, the binder layer being interposed between two respective connecting surfaces of each block, arranged opposite.
• each block measures about 2.5 cm.
• each block of cellular concrete is about 5 cm.
• the binder layer measures about 5 cm in the X direction, that is to say that it covers the entire respective bonding surface opposite the two superimposed blocks.
• Specimen A is devoid of reinforcement.
• Specimen B comprises, embedded in the binder layer, a flat masonry reinforcement, comprising two rigid steel flat profiles, elongate in the Y direction, and parallel to the Y direction. According to the X direction, each profile measures about 0.8 cm in the X direction, and about 0.2 cm in the Z direction.
• the masonry reinforcement of the specimen B further comprises a zigzag corrugated wire, alternately connecting the two rigid sections, at each corrugation. . At each corrugation, the corrugated wire is welded to one of the two rigid sections. Accordingly, each rigid section is bonded to the corrugated wire by a plurality of welds along the Y direction.
• the test piece C comprises a reinforcing grid embedded in the binder layer.
• the grid comprises seven steel wires, each extending parallel to the Y direction and having a section of about 4 to 5 mm 2 .
• the metal wires are interconnected by connecting wires in the X direction.
• Specimen D comprises a reinforcing grid embedded in the binder layer.
• the grid is woven glass and is coated.
• the reinforcement grid has a weight of 222 g / m 2 (+/- 5%) and comprises about 1.2 threads / cm in the Y direction and about 1.05 son / cm in the direction X.
• the grid used comprises five son parallel to the direction Y, distributed in the direction X.
• the test piece E comprises a reinforcing grid embedded in the binder layer.
• the grid of the specimen E comprises six carbon wires 12K, each extending parallel to the Y direction. There are 1, 2 carbon threads per centimeter.
• the grid of the specimen E comprises warp and weft threads, that is to say in the X direction and in the Y direction, supporting the carbon son. The carbon threads are stuck on the glass threads at their intersections.
• the warp glass yarns are bound to the weft glass yarns at their intersections.
• the glass grid has 3 threads / cm.
• test piece A, B, C, D and E For each test piece A, B, C, D and E, a "three-point" bending test of the type described in the French standard NF EN 1351 is carried out. For this, the test piece rests, through the lower cellular concrete block, on two cylinders extending parallel to the direction X, and spaced in the direction Y. It is expected that the cylinders are spaced 8.5 cm in the direction Y. A third cylinder, parallel to the other two cylinders and equidistant from the other two cylinders, comes to apply a force F directed downwardly parallel to the Z direction against the upper face of the upper block. A rubber band was interposed between each cylinder and the test piece, to avoid a depression of the cylinder in the aerated concrete.
• F1 is the value of the force applied by the cylinders on the specimen, for which a crack opens on the lower face of the lower block of the specimen, that is to say between the two lower cylinders.
• F2 is the force applied by the rolls on the specimen, for which the crack has propagated through the whole specimen in the Z direction, the reinforcement still connecting the two specimen parts together, except for the specimen A or no reinforcement is provided.
• D2 is the displacement of the upper cylinder relative to the lower cylinders in the direction Z, towards the lower cylinders.
• test piece E makes it possible to obtain that the force F1 and the force F 2 are particularly high, compared with the other test pieces A to D.
• the test specimen D for which the value of F2 is slightly lower than the value of F2 observed for the specimen E, has a much lower value for F1. It is concluded that the test piece E has the greatest flexural strength, and that, even if the cellular concrete is broken, the reinforcement grid of the test piece E makes it possible to hold the test piece correctly.
