What is BS EN 13733 - Durability of structural bonding agents about?
BS EN 13733 is one of many European standards that fall under the common title of “Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures”.
BS EN 13733 defines laboratory methods of testing to ascertain the durability of structural bonding agents in composite systems involving the bonding of hardened concrete to hardened concrete, fresh concrete to hardened concrete and steel-to-steel.
Who is BS EN 13733 - Durability of structural bonding agents for?
BS EN 13733 on test method for determining the durability of structural bonding agents is useful for:
- Manufacturers of concrete repair and protection products
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13733 - Durability of structural bonding agents?
Structural bonding agents are used for repairing old or new concrete structures by joining their cracks and faults. The effectiveness of these bonding agents depends on their ability to withstand environmental conditions.
BS EN 13733 provides you with detailed guidance on apparatus requirements and a step-by-step procedure for the test method to determine the durability of the structural bonding agents. BS EN 13733 helps you identify the performance of structural bonding agents in thermal and warm-moist environmental conditions.
Overall, the test method described in BS EN 13733 enables you to identify and compare the durability of the structural bonding agents.
