Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures - Test methods - Part 4: Determination of shrinkage and expansion
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12617-4 standard focuses on the determination of the shrinkage and expansion movement in concrete structures. It provides a detailed methodology for measuring the dimensional stability caused by changes in moisture content in hydraulic mortars or concretes, as well as polymer hydraulic cement mortars or concretes.
The standard outlines two different procedures for measuring these movements: unrestrained movement and restrained movement. The unrestrained movement method assesses the dimensional changes without any external restraints, while the restrained movement method evaluates the movement under specified constraints.
This standard is applicable to grout, mortar, or concrete products or systems with a maximum aggregate size of 10 mm. It aims to ensure accurate measurements of shrinkage and expansion to allow for the proper design, installation, and maintenance of protective and repair systems for concrete structures.
