Methods of tests for ancillary components for masonry - Part 2: Determination of bond strength of prefabricated bed joint reinforcement in mortar joints
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 846-2 standard provides guidelines for testing the bond strength of prefabricated bed joint reinforcement in mortar joints. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the bed joint reinforcement, which is used to enhance the mechanical performance of masonry structures, has a sufficient bond strength with the mortar.
The standard specifies the procedure to determine the bond strength by subjecting the masonry specimen to a series of tests. These tests involve applying a tensile load to the reinforcement in the mortar joint and measuring the force required to cause failure of the bond.
The standard defines the criteria for evaluating the bond strength and provides guidelines for data analysis and reporting. It is important for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of bed joint reinforcement to adhere to this standard in order to ensure the quality and reliability of the product.
