Overview

EN 13733:2002 (CEN) specifies laboratory test methods to determine the durability of structural bonding agents used in repair and protection of concrete structures. The standard covers composite systems involving:

• hardened concrete to hardened concrete,
• fresh concrete to hardened concrete, and
• steel-to-steel bonding.

EN 13733 defines specimen preparation, environmental regimes, test procedures and reporting requirements to evaluate long‑term performance of adhesives used for bonded reinforcement, mortars, or plate bonding.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Specimen types
  • Concrete-to-concrete: three 100 × 100 × 100 mm cubes bonded in-line (bond line ≈ 1 mm) for compressive‑shear testing.
  • Fresh-to-hardened concrete: two grit-blasted cubes separated in a 100 × 100 × 302 mm mould with fresh concrete poured into the central volume.
  • Steel-to-steel: two 150 × 25 × 3 mm steel plates bonded with a controlled glue line and tested with a wedge (cleavage) method.
• Environmental regimes
  • Thermal cycling: programmable cabinet cycling between (−25 ± 2) °C and (+55 ± 2) °C. One cycle = 12 h (50 cycles total), with specified dwell and ramp rates.
  • Warm‑moist exposure: continuous exposure for 6 months at (+40 ± 2) °C and (95 ± 5) % RH.
• Test methods
  • Concrete specimens: conditioned 24 h at standard climate then loaded in compressive shear (load rate (60 ± 20) kN/min); record load at failure and mode of failure.
  • Steel specimens: wedge inserted to create a crack; crack length measured before exposure and at regular intervals (daily initially, then weekly) to monitor propagation and crack position; calculate fracture energy vs time.
• Equipment and preparation
  • Moulds, alignment jigs, grit blasting to EN 1766 requirements, compression testing machine per EN 12390‑4, programmable temperature and climatic cabinets, and steel surface prep per ISO 8501‑1.
• Reporting
  • Detailed test report requirements including product ID, preparation/storage conditions, test equipment/calibration, load/fracture results, mode/position of failure and precision data.

Applications and users

EN 13733 is used to assess adhesives and structural bonding agents for:

• Bonded plate reinforcement and external bonded reinforcement systems
• Repair mortars and concrete overlay bonding
• Steel plate bonding and adhesive joint design

Primary users:

• Material manufacturers and suppliers of structural adhesives
• Test laboratories and independent assessors
• Structural engineers, repair contractors and specifiers evaluating bonding system durability

Related standards

• EN 1766 - Reference concretes for testing (cast and surface preparation)
• EN 12390‑4 - Compressive strength testing machines
• ISO 8501‑1 - Steel surface preparation (rust and preparation grades)
