What is BS 6319-2- Compressive strength of resin based mortar and concrete about?
BS 6319 is a British Standard series that discusses the testing of resin and polymer/cement compositions for use in construction. The main aim of the BS 6319 series is to provide best industry testing methods to determine whether the construction materials to be used for your civil engineering works, are fit for purpose.
BS 6319-2 is the second part of the BS 6319 series describes the procedure for the measurement of the compressive strength of specimens of resin based mortars and concretes in the form of cubes.
Note: This method is not applicable to unfilled systems.
Who is BS 6319-2- Compressive strength of resin based mortar and concrete for?
BS 6319-2 on the compressive strength of resin based mortar and concrete is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of resins and thermosetting polymers used for construction purposes
- Cement manufacturing companies
- Construction industry
- Contractors
- Civil engineers
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use BS 6319-2- Compressive strength of resin based mortar and concrete?
Determining the physical properties and performance of resin-based compositions is vital to achieve the required adhesion, and thermal and corrosion resistance, for the structural integrity of your construction projects.
BS 6319-2 walks you through the methods to determine the compressive strength of resin based mortars and concrete in the form of cubes. As a result, you can demonstrate the extent to which resin based compositions can resist high, applied compressive forces before failure.
Overall, compliance with BS 6319-2 measurement methods can be beneficial for quality control and comparative purposes and can assist you in improving the overall design mix for optimal concrete performance.
