Fibres for Concrete - Part 2: Polymer Fibres - Definitions, Specifications and Conformity
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14889-2 standard outlines the necessary definitions, specifications, and conformity requirements for polymer fibres used in concrete applications. The standard covers a wide range of uses, including sprayed concrete, flooring, precast concrete, and concrete repair. It ensures that the polymer fibres used in these applications meet the required quality standards.
The standard provides clear definitions for the different types of polymer fibres, specifying their characteristics and composition. It also sets out specifications for the physical and mechanical properties of the fibres, such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and length. These specifications ensure that the fibres are suitable for reinforcement in concrete and capable of improving its strength and durability.
Additionally, the standard establishes conformity requirements for polymer fibres, which include testing methods and evaluation criteria. It outlines the procedures for determining whether the fibres meet the specified requirements and can be safely used in concrete applications. The conformity requirements ensure that the fibres are of reliable quality and will perform as expected in concrete structures.
