CEN/TC 104/SC 8/WG 5 - Anchoring or fixing

This European Standard specifies the conditions for carrying out a pull-out test on a reinforcing steel bar (rebar) anchored in a concrete block.
The test applies to products based on hydraulic binders or synthetic resins or mixtures of these. It does not include those products intended to be used as grout around tendons used for the prestressing of concrete

This European Standard specifies a method for carrying out a sustained tensile load test on a reinforcing steel bar (rebar) anchored in a concrete block. The test is performed to determine the tensile creep under standard conditions, or under maximum service temperature conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
The test applies to products based on synthetic resins or hybrid synthetic resin/hydraulic cements.
It does not include those products intended to be used as grout around tendons used for the prestressing of concrete.

This Part of EN 1504 specifies requirements for the identification, performance (including durability) and safety of products and systems to be used for the anchoring of reinforcing steel (rebar) as used for structural strengthening to ensure the continuity of reinforced concrete structures.
This Part of EN 1504 covers the fields of application in accordance with repair method 4.2 of ENV 1504-9:1997.
NOTE   It is assumed that a proper structural assessment of the structural elements to be subjected to repair is carried out by qualified engineers and that the choice of the products and systems to be used as well as the design are based on this assessment.
