Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Waterproofing of Concrete Bridge Decks and Other Concrete Surfaces Trafficable by Vehicles - Determination of Shear Strength
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13653 standard focuses on the determination of shear strength for flexible sheets used in waterproofing concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces that are trafficked by vehicles. The objective of this standard is to provide a test method to assess the performance of the waterproofing sheet system applied on concrete surfaces with an asphalt layer.
The standard outlines the procedure and requirements for conducting the shear strength test. It specifies the necessary equipment, sample preparation, and testing conditions. The test involves subjecting the waterproofing sheet system to the application of a constant load and measuring the resulting shear force.
By determining the shear strength of the waterproofing sheet system, this standard aims to evaluate its suitability and effectiveness in preventing water infiltration and providing long-term durability. The results obtained from this test can be used to assess the performance of different types of flexible sheets and their application techniques, helping to ensure the quality and effectiveness of waterproofing solutions for concrete surfaces subject to vehicular traffic.
