Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Creep in Compression for Repair Products
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13584 standard provides guidelines for measuring creep under compressive load in repair products and systems used for concrete structures. The standard specifically applies to repair mortars, concretes with polymer binders (PC), repair grouts, and concretes with hydraulic binders (CC) and polymer cement binders (PCC).
The standard outlines a method for measuring creep, which refers to the time-dependent deformation experienced by a material under a constant load. The purpose of this test is to assess the creep behavior of repair products to ensure their durability and long-term performance in concrete structure repairs. By determining the creep characteristics, the standard aids in evaluating the suitability of these products for specific applications and provides a basis for comparing different repair materials.
The test method described in the standard complies with the requirements of prEN 1504-3, which defines repair materials and their application principles. The method is applicable to various repair mortars and concretes with different types of binders, including polymer binders and hydraulic binders. Its scope covers a wide range of repair products to suit different repair needs and conditions.
