Overview
EN 12617-4:2002 is a CEN European Standard specifying test methods to determine the dimensional stability - i.e. shrinkage and expansion - of repair products and systems for concrete structures. It applies to hydraulic mortars/concretes (CC) and polymer‑hydraulic cement mortars/concretes (PCC) as defined in EN 1504‑1, including grout, mortar or concrete products with a maximum aggregate size of 10 mm. The standard defines two complementary procedures: an unrestrained movement method (prismatic specimens) and a restrained movement method (repair applied to concrete slab panels).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Measures dimensional change due to moisture content (drying or immersion) for CC and PCC repair materials.
- Two test procedures:
- Unrestrained movement - prismatic specimens 40 × 40 × 160 mm measured from 24 h up to 56 days after casting.
- Restrained movement - repair applied to reference concrete panels 300 × 300 × 100 mm to assess cracking and loss of adhesion under restraint.
- Specimen preparation and curing: Materials conditioned in a standard laboratory climate (Annex A); curing and conditioning regimes are specified for immersion and drying cycles.
- Measurement apparatus and accuracy:
- Measurement studs (Type 1 recessed, Type 2 projecting) embedded in specimens.
- Measuring apparatus with accuracy of ±0.001 mm and calibration rod (160 ± 1 mm, invar or similar).
- Water baths for immersion at (21 ± 2) °C and triangular support grids to ensure clearance.
- Accessories and tooling: Tampers, mixing equipment (mortar mixer or forced‑action pan mixer), compaction tools per referenced EN methods.
- Data and calculations: Initial mass/length readings after release from mould, subsequent readings, and calculation of specific length variation (%).
Applications and practical value
- Provides reproducible methods for assessing shrinkage, expansion and dimensional stability of repair mortars, grouts and concretes - essential for:
- Predicting cracking risk, bond performance and long‑term durability of repair layers.
- Specifying materials for structural and non‑structural repairs where moisture cycling occurs.
- Quality control during product development and factory or independent laboratory testing.
- Useful for manufacturers validating formulations, test laboratories performing conformity testing, consulting engineers specifying repair systems, and contractors selecting compatible materials for in‑situ repairs.
Who should use this standard
- Product manufacturers (R&D and QA)
- Independent testing laboratories
- Specification writers and material consultants
- Structural and repair engineers
- Construction contractors focused on concrete repair

La norme EN 12617-4:2002 se positionne comme un document clé dans le domaine de la protection et de la réparation des structures en béton. Son objectif principal est de fournir des méthodes d'essai standardisées pour la détermination du retrait et de l'expansion, spécifiquement en raison des variations de la teneur en humidité des mortiers ou bétons hydrauliques (CC) et des mortiers ou bétons en ciment hydraulique polymérisé (PCC), conformément à la définition établie dans la norme EN 1504-1. L'un des principaux points forts de cette norme est son approche méthodique via deux procédures distinctes : celle pour le mouvement non contraint et celle pour le mouvement contraint. Cette dualité permet de s'adapter à diverses situations pratiques dans le champ de l'application des produits de construction. Cela garantit que les professionnels de la construction peuvent évaluer la stabilité dimensionnelle avec précision, ce qui est essentiel pour assurer la durabilité des structures en béton. La pertinence de cette norme est renforcée par son champ d'application étendu, notamment pour les produits de coulis, les mortiers, ou les systèmes en béton ayant une taille d'agrégat maximale de 10 mm. Cela en fait un outil indispensable pour les ingénieurs et les techniciens souhaitant évaluer la performance des matériaux utilisés dans diverses applications, allant de la construction neuve à la réhabilitation des structures existantes. En résumé, la norme EN 12617-4:2002 est un document essentiel qui permet de garantir la qualité et la durabilité des travaux de béton, en fournissant des méthodes claires et précises pour l'analyse du retrait et de l'expansion. Sa mise en œuvre assure la conformité avec les exigences de performance des produits et systèmes destinés à la protection et à la réparation des structures en béton.
The standard EN 12617-4:2002 provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the dimensional stability of concrete structures, making it an essential reference for practitioners involved in the protection and repair of concrete. Its primary scope focuses on the determination of shrinkage and expansion in hydraulic mortars and concretes (CC) and polymer hydraulic cement mortars and concretes (PCC), as delineated in EN 1504-1. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its inclusion of two distinct testing methods: the unrestrained movement procedure and the restrained movement procedure. This dual approach allows for a nuanced understanding of how moisture content fluctuations can affect the dimensional stability of various concrete products, providing valuable insights for engineers and construction professionals. The unrestrained method helps predict potential challenges in scenarios where movement is unrestricted, while the restrained method simulates real-world conditions where structural constraints may impact the performance of materials. Furthermore, the standard is specifically applicable to grout, mortar, or concrete systems with a maximum aggregate size of 10 mm, ensuring that the testing protocols are relevant and tailored to common concrete formulations used in construction. This targeted scope enhances the standard's usability for industry professionals working with varied materials in practical applications. The relevance of EN 12617-4:2002 in today's construction landscape cannot be overstated. As the industry increasingly focuses on durability and long-lasting performance of structures, understanding shrinkage and expansion behaviors becomes critical. This standard provides the necessary tools for assessing these factors, thereby facilitating the development and selection of high-quality materials that meet modern engineering standards. In summary, EN 12617-4:2002 stands out for its rigorous methodologies and practical applicability, making it a key document for those involved in the protection and repair of concrete structures. Its comprehensive examination of shrinkage and expansion is vital for ensuring the long-term stability and integrity of concrete applications.

Die Norm EN 12617-4:2002 stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Qualitätssicherung und Leistungsbewertung von Produkten und Systemen für den Schutz und die Reparatur von Betonbauwerken dar. Dieser Teil der europäischen Normenreihe definiert eine spezifische Methode zur Messung der dimensionsstabilität von hydraulischen Mörteln und Betonen, die auf Veränderungen des Feuchtigkeitsgehalts reagieren. Die in der Norm geforderten Prüfmethoden für Schrumpf- und Ausdehnungsbewegungen sind für die Bewertung der Materialleistung von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Ein wesentlicher Stärke der Norm ist die klare Unterscheidung zwischen zwei Prüfverfahren: einem Verfahren für unrestriktive Bewegungen und einem für restriktive Bewegungen. Diese Differenzierung ermöglicht es, die Verhaltensweisen von Mörteln und Betonen in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsszenarien detailliert zu analysieren. Dadurch wird eine umfassende und realitätsnahe Beurteilung der dimensionsstabilität in verschiedenen Umgebungsbedingungen gewährleistet. Die Relevanz der Norm erstreckt sich über die bloße Materialprüfung hinaus. Durch die Festlegung von Verfahren zur Messung der Schrumpf- und Ausdehnungsbewegungen leistet die Norm einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Optimierung der Entwicklung und Anwendung von Produkten, die in der Bauindustrie verwendet werden. Insbesondere bei der Auswahl geeigneter Mörtel und Betone für spezifische Anwendungen kann die Kenntnis der Ergebnisse dieser Tests kritische Entscheidungen beeinflussen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die EN 12617-4:2002 eine zentrale Bedeutung für die Evaluierung der qualitativen Eigenschaften von Mörteln und Betonen hat und damit zur langfristigen Leistungsfähigkeit von Betonbauwerken beiträgt.
