BS 6319-11:1993 PDF Download

BS 6319-11:1993 is a standard that focuses on the testing of resin and polymer/cement compositions that are used in construction. Specifically, this standard provides methods for determining the creep in compression and in tension of these compositions.

The standard outlines the procedure for measuring creep in compression on prisms loaded in hydraulic pressure rigs. This involves applying a constant compressive load to the prisms and monitoring the deformation of the specimens over time. This test provides valuable information about the long-term behavior of the resin and polymer/cement compositions under compressive loads.

In addition, the standard also covers the determination of creep in tension. This is achieved by subjecting necked specimens to a dead weight loading. The specimens are monitored for any elongation or deformation that occurs over a specific period of time. This test helps evaluate the ability of the resin and polymer/cement compositions to withstand tensile stresses over long durations.
