BS EN 14889-2:2006 PDF Download

BS EN 14889-2:2006 is a standard that provides definitions, specifications, and conformity requirements for polymer fibers used in concrete, mortar, and grout. This standard specifically focuses on polymer fibers intended for both structural and non-structural applications in various types of concrete and mortar, such as sprayed concrete, flooring, precast, in-situ, and repair concretes.

The standard distinguishes between structural use, where the addition of fibers contributes to the load-bearing capacity of a concrete element, and non-structural use. It sets out the necessary requirements and criteria that these fibers must meet to ensure their suitability for their intended purpose. These requirements may include aspects such as dimensions, mechanical properties, chemical composition, and compatibility with concrete mixtures.

BS EN 14889-2:2006 aims to provide a clear and standardized framework for the production, testing, and use of polymer fibers in concrete applications. Compliance with this standard ensures that the fibers used in construction projects meet the necessary quality and performance criteria, contributing to the overall durability, strength, and effectiveness of the concrete structures.
