scope:

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.
