BS EN 12618-1:2003

What is BS EN 12618-1 - Adhesion and elongation capacity of concrete structures about?  

BS EN 12618-1 is the first part of the multiple series that describes the reference procedure for determining the adhesive bond capacity and elongation capacity of injection products, intended for ductile filling of cracks and cavities. 

Who is BS EN 12618-1 - Adhesion and elongation capacity of concrete structures for?  

BS EN 12618-1 on adhesion and elongation capacity of concrete structures is useful for: 

• Construction industries
• Civil engineers 
• Testers of concrete structures 
• Manufactures of concrete 
• Builders 
• Designers 
• Contractors  

Why should you use BS EN 12618-1 - Adhesion and elongation capacity of concrete structures? 

Adhesion is the tendency for dissimilar particles or surfaces to stick together (cohesion is the tendency for similar or identical particles/surfaces to stick together). There are various sorts of forces that generate adhesion and cohesion. 

BS EN 12618-1 specifies test methods for the product's extensibility and tensile bond strength (as well as the effect of crack width on these parameters), which will assist you in determining after injection into cracks of various widths and three different moisture conditions: dry, wet, and water-filled.
