AS 1012.24:2015 PDF Download

AS 1012.24:2015 standard provides a detailed procedure for measuring the tensile bond strength of concrete repair and strengthening materials. The standard applies to various products including mortars, grouts, concretes, and fiber-reinforced polymer composites used for repairs and strengthening applications.

The standard outlines the specific steps and conditions required to perform the test accurately. It provides guidance on preparing the concrete substrate, applying the repair or strengthening system, and conducting the tensile bond strength test. The aim is to assess the capability of these materials to bond effectively with the existing concrete.

This standard is crucial in ensuring that repair and strengthening systems meet the required performance criteria. By determining the tensile bond strength, it helps to evaluate the effectiveness and durability of these systems. This information is necessary for engineers, contractors, and other industry professionals to make informed decisions regarding the selection and application of repair and strengthening materials.
