Grout for Prestressing Tendons - Grouting Procedures
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 446 standard provides guidelines for the grouting process used to fill the sheaths used to protect prestressing tendons. The primary purpose of grouting is to ensure the protection of the prestressing steel against corrosion and to establish a strong bond between the steel and the sheaths, in accordance with the design requirements of the structure.
The standard likely includes detailed instructions and specifications for the grouting procedure, including the properties of the grout material itself, its consistency, and the equipment and techniques to be used during grouting. It is crucial that the sheaths be adequately filled with grout to ensure the structural integrity of the prestressing system.
The standard may also cover important considerations such as the curing time required for the grout, the temperature and humidity conditions during grouting, and any special precautions or quality control measures that need to be taken.
