ISO 14824-1:2012 PDF Download

ISO 14824-1:2012 is a standard that specifies the basic requirements for grout used in the pretensioning and post-tensioning of tendons in structures such as bridges and buildings. The standard covers the materials that can be used in the production of cement grouts and outlines the necessary properties and composition of the grout. This includes factors such as the consistency, setting time, compressive strength, water absorption, shrinkage, and durability of the grout.

The standard aims to ensure that the grout used in prestressing tendons meets the necessary quality and performance criteria. By outlining the basic requirements for grout, it provides manufacturers and practitioners with guidelines for selecting and producing grout that will effectively bond and protect the tendons, thus optimizing the structural integrity and safety of the prestressed member.

ISO 14824-1:2012 is an essential reference for engineers, designers, and practitioners involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of structures that incorporate prestressed tendons.
