This document describes test methods (reference and alternative) applicable to cast test specimens for evaluating the Sulftate Resistance (SR characteristic) of cements. Sulfate resistance means that these binders can be used in concrete bodies submitted to sulfate attacks. In these methods, the test is carried out under controlled exposure conditions using an increased concentration of sulfate solution. These test conditions are intended to accelerate external sulfate attack. The reference test method is adapted from the modified SVA test method (German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt), Expert Committee (SVA)): “Testing the Sulfate Resistance of Cements with pozzolanic main constituents”. The modified SVA test method is listed in European Assessment Document – EAD 150007-01-0301, Annex C. This test method is appropriate for various binders, in particular those with pozzolanic main constituents. The alternative test method is listed in European Assessment Document – EAD 150009-01-0301, Annex A. This test method is appropriate for CEM III/A cements.

 

This document establishes a methodology for linking abstract concepts within Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) standards and specifies structural mechanisms for organizing their link relationships, aiming to facilitate cross-domain information exchange. Methodologies for the development of RDF that relate to BIM and GIS are not within the scope of this document.

 

This document outlines the conceptual framework and methodology for linking abstract concepts between BIM and GIS standards to facilitate BIM/GIS interoperability. This document provides the mechanisms to establish links between abstract concepts in both domains in terms of metamodels, abstract conceptual schemas and application schemas.
