Standard EN Sample
Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Adhesion Steel-to-Steel for Characterization of Structural Bonding Agents
Also Known As:
The BS EN 12188:1999 standard outlines a procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of structural bonding agents used for strengthening concrete structures through steel plate bonding.
The standard focuses on the determination of two important factors: slant shear strength and pull-off strength. Slant shear strength refers to the ability of the bonding agent to withstand the forces exerted when a steel plate is bonded to a concrete surface at an inclined angle. Pull-off strength, on the other hand, assesses the resistance of the bonding agent to separation when a force is applied to detach the steel plate from the concrete.
By providing a standardized method for testing the adhesion between steel plates and concrete structures, this standard enables engineers and technicians to assess the quality and reliability of structural bonding agents. Compliance with the standard ensures that the bonding agents used meet the necessary strength requirements for effectively reinforcing and repairing concrete structures.
