Standard EN Sample
Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Loss of Mass of Hydrophobic Impregnated Concrete After Freeze-Thaw Salt Stress
Also Known As:
BS EN 13581:2002 is a test method standard that focuses on determining the loss of mass of hydrophobic impregnated concrete after freeze-thaw salt stress. It is part of a series of standards dealing with products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. The standard provides a specified method for evaluating the resistance of both hydrophobic impregnated concrete and untreated concrete to freeze-thaw attack in sodium chloride solution.
The test method described in this standard is helpful in assessing the durability and performance of concrete structures subjected to harsh environmental conditions. Freeze-thaw attack can lead to two types of concrete deterioration: surface scaling and internal damage. By determining the loss of mass after freeze-thaw salt stress, this standard allows for the evaluation of the effectiveness of hydrophobic impregnated concrete in protecting against these types of deterioration.
