Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures - Test methods - Determination of thermal compatibility - Part 3: Thermal cycling without de-icing salt impact

This standard is the third in a series of five parts to assess the thermal compatibility of repair products and systems, comprising grouts, mortars and concretes and surface protection systems, used for the repair and protection of concrete structures. The method measures the effect of thermal cycling, including wetting and drying but without de-icing salt immersion, upon surface protection and injection systems used as part of a repair product or system.

Diese Europäische Norm ist der dritte von fünf Teilen zur Bewertung der Temperaturwechselverträglichkeit von Instandsetzungsprodukten und -systemen, einschließlich Feinmörteln, Mörteln und Betonen sowie Oberflächenschutzsystemen, die zur Instandsetzung und zum Schutz von Betontragwerken verwendet werden. Mit dem in diesem Teil festgelegten Verfahren wird die Auswirkung von Temperaturwechselbeanspruchung mit Benetzung und Trocknung - jedoch ohne Tausalzangriff - auf Oberflächenschutz- und -einpresssysteme, die als Teil von Instandsetzungsprodukten oder -systemen eingesetzt werden, gemessen.

Overview

SIST EN 13687-3:2002 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies test methods for assessing the thermal compatibility of products and systems used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. This part 3 of a five-part series focuses on thermal cycling without de-icing salt impact, evaluating how surface protection and injection systems react to temperature changes combined with wetting and drying, but excluding immersion in de-icing salt solutions.

This standard plays a crucial role in ensuring that repair products-including grouts, mortars, concretes, and surface protection systems-can withstand the stresses caused by temperature fluctuations in environments without de-icing salts. Its practical application safeguards the durability and integrity of concrete repairs and protections against thermal-induced damage.

Key Topics

• Thermal Compatibility Testing: The method involves exposing concrete specimens treated with repair materials to thermal cycles between 60 °C and -15 °C, combined with periods of wetting and drying but without de-icing salt immersion.
• Test Specimens: Concrete slabs sized 300 mm x 300 mm x 100 mm, prepared as per EN 1766, are coated with surface protection systems and subjected to the thermal cycling to simulate real-life environmental stress.
• Testing Procedure: Two main methods are described:
  • Manual thermal cycling using climate cabinets in sequence
  • Automated cycling in a programmable climatic cabinet ensuring precise and controlled temperature and moisture conditions.
• Evaluation Criteria:
  • Visual inspection for surface defects such as cracking, blistering, delamination, or peeling after cycles.
  • Pull-off adhesion strength measurement following EN 1542 to quantify bonding performance between repair product and substrate.
• Curing and Conditioning: Specifies standardized curing and conditioning regimes for test specimens to ensure consistent and comparable results.

Applications

• Concrete Repair and Protection Validation: SIST EN 13687-3:2002 is used to validate the durability and thermal resilience of repair mortars, grouts, and protective coatings on concrete infrastructure such as bridges, parking decks, tunnels, and building facades.
• Quality Control and Specification Compliance: Manufacturers and contractors utilize this standard to demonstrate compliance with performance requirements for thermal compatibility as part of product certification and quality assurance.
• Design of Repair Systems: Engineers and architects rely on the test results guided by this standard to select materials and systems optimized for environments where temperature cycling occurs without de-icing salts.
• Research and Development: Facilitates innovation in repair materials by providing a consistent testing framework to compare new formulations’ performance against established benchmarks.
• Regulatory and Contractual Reference: Often referenced in technical specifications, procurement documents, and regulatory compliance for construction and repair of concrete structures.

Related Standards

SIST EN 13687-3:2002 is part of a broader suite of test standards covering thermal compatibility of concrete repair products:

• EN 13687-1: Freeze-thaw cycling with de-icing salt immersion - assesses performance under harsh winter conditions involving salt contamination.
• EN 13687-2: Thunder-shower cycling (thermal shock) - focuses on rapid and extreme temperature changes simulating outdoor exposure.
• EN 13687-4: Dry thermal cycling - evaluates thermal compatibility under dry heat and cooling cycles.
• EN 13687-5: Resistance to temperature shock - measures product performance under sudden and severe temperature changes.

Complementary standards for repair product definitions, bond strength testing, and concrete preparation include:

• EN 1504-1: Definitions, requirements, and quality control for concrete repair products.
• EN 1542: Pull-off test method for bond strength measurement.
• EN 1766: Specifications for reference concrete used in testing.

By providing a comprehensive and reproducible method to assess thermal compatibility without de-icing salt exposure, SIST EN 13687-3:2002 supports the development and deployment of durable, reliable concrete repair systems optimized for diverse environmental conditions. This standard helps ensure the long-term performance and structural safety of concrete infrastructure subjected to thermal stress cycles.
