What is BS 6319-3 – Modulus of elasticity in flexural strength of polymer compositions about?
The modulus of elasticity of concrete is used in the calculations of structural deformations.
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 6319-3 is the third part of the BS 6319 series that describes methods for the measurement of modulus of elasticity in flexure and flexural strength of specimens of polymer based mortars and polymer/cement based mortars in the form of rectangular prisms.
Note: These methods are not applicable to unfilled systems.
Who is BS 6319-6 – Modulus of elasticity in flexural strength of polymer compositions for?
BS 6319-6 on the modulus of elasticity in flexural strength of polymer compositions 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 6319-3 – Modulus of elasticity in flexural strength of polymer compositions?
Determining the physical properties and performance of resin and polymer-based compositions is vital to achieve the required adhesion, compressive strength, and thermal and corrosion resistance, for the structural integrity of your construction projects.
BS 6319-3 walks you through the procedure to determine the modulus of elasticity in flexure and flexural strength of specimens of polymer based mortars and polymer/cement based mortars, that can help demonstrate whether or not the materials/specimens are capable of contributing to the required bending and deformation resistance of the concrete for construction works.
Compliance with BS 6319-3 can be particularly beneficial when it comes to quality control and enhancing the overall design mix for optimal concrete performance.
