Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Slant Shear Strength
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12615 standard provides test methods for determining the slant shear strength of products and systems used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. The focus of this particular method is to evaluate the strength of the bond between two concrete substrates. The test can be applied to both hardened concrete bonded to hardened concrete, as well as fresh concrete bonded to hardened concrete.
The standard specifies the procedure for conducting the test and provides guidelines for preparing the test specimens and performing the measurements. The slant shear strength is determined by subjecting the bonded concrete specimens to a specific slant shear load, which applies shearing forces to the bond between the two substrates.
By using this standard, manufacturers and practitioners can assess the performance and quality of products and systems used for concrete protection and repair. The determination of the slant shear strength enables them to evaluate the effectiveness of the bond between concrete substrates, which is crucial for ensuring the durability and structural integrity of concrete structures.
