Introduction

The purpose of the test is to determine the adhesive properties of the waterproofing system

Bond strength between the waterproofing sheet system and concrete substrate or asphalt layer can be determined

EN 13596:2004 (E)

5

1 Scope

This document is one of a series of standards applicable to flexible sheets for waterproofing of concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces trafficable by vehicles

This document specifies a test method for the evaluation of the tensile bond strength properties of the waterproofing sheet system applied to a concrete surface and with an asphalt layer

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document For dated references,

only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any

amendments) applies

EN 13416, Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing - Rules for

sampling

EN 13375:2004, Flexible sheets for waterproofing – Waterproofing of concrete bridge decks and other concrete

surfaces trafficable by vehicles – Specimen preparation

prEN 14695:2003, Flexible sheets for waterproofing – Reinforced bitumen sheets for waterproofing of concrete

bridge decks and other concrete surfaces trafficable by vehicles – Definitions and characteristics

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13375:2004, prEN 14695:2003 and the following apply

bond strength

tensile stress at maximum force when testing the adhesion between different layers in a waterproofing system

4.1 Principle

The bond strength shall be measured using a tensile test equipment The tensile force shall be applied perpendicular to the test specimen, and the force required at failure shall be registered

4.2 Apparatus and materials

a) Tensile test machine, with force increasing rate control and automatic load recording, fitted with suitable clamps and base to ensure that the tensile force can be applied without momentum perpendicular to the test specimen

tolerance of 0,5 mm The steel plate shall be attached by suitable means (e.g screwed) to the tensile test machine Minimum thickness of steel plate shall be 10 mm from bottom of steel plate to bottom of screw hole

c) Suitable adhesive (e.g two part epoxy resin), for bonding the steel plates to the waterproofing sheet or the asphalt layer of the test specimen

6

4.3 Preparation of test specimens

Samples and test pieces shall be taken in accordance with EN 13416

Compound specimen and test specimen preparations are described and specifications for base specimens and

asphalt layer mixes are given in EN 13375

Type 1 (waterproofing sheet and concrete):

Base specimen with the applied flexible sheet waterproofing shall be used if bond strength between waterproofing

sheet and concrete substrate is to be measured If the flexible sheet system consists of more than one sheet layer,

only the bottom sheet layer shall be applied and tested (Illustrated in Figure 1.)

Type 2 (waterproofing sheet and asphalt layer):

Flexible sheet sample applied with an asphalt layer shall be used if bond strength between waterproofing sheet and

asphalt layer is to be measured If the flexible sheet system consists of more than one sheet layer, only the top

sheet layer shall be applied with an asphalt layer and tested After preparation the compound specimen shall be

turned up side down (with the waterproofing facing upwards)

Type 3 (concrete, waterproofing system and asphalt layer):

Base specimen with the applied flexible sheet waterproofing system and asphalt layer shall be used if bond

strength of the complete waterproofing system and including the asphalt layer (the weakest link of the system) is to

be measured

After preparation of test specimen(s) according to EN 13375 and cooling to room temperature, steel plates (4.2 b)

shall be bonded to the upper surface of the test specimen (waterproofing sheet for type 1 and 2 or asphalt layer for

type 3) with a suitable adhesive (4.2 c)

For type 1 and 2 the test areas shall then be isolated by cutting the sheet along the sides of the steel plate down to

the concrete (type 1) or to the asphalt layer (type 2) Test specimen areas may be cut before bonding the steel

plates

At least three test areas shall be prepared and any preparation shall not affect the structure of the material

NOTE Enough test specimens should be prepared to ensure a minimum acceptable number of tests with an acceptable

type of failure If necessary the test area surface is prepared, before bonding the steel plates to the surface, by for instance

using a metal brush

sheet and concrete substrate)

4.4 Procedure

Prior to testing the test specimen shall be conditioned at test temperature for at least 24 hours

The test specimen is placed in the tensile test machine and the steel plate attached to the machine During testing

the steel plate is pulled with an increasing stress rate to assure an increase in tensile force of

together with the mode of failure

The following general modes of failure may occur for a system of flexible bitumen sheet and primer:

With an applied flexible sheet waterproofing system and asphalt layer failure may occur also:

NOTE 1 Additionally other temperatures can be used if required

Three valid tests shall be carried out for each test temperature The mean bond strength shall be calculated from a

minimum of three accepted test results

The surface temperature shall be measured for each test area immediately after finishing the test

NOTE 2 The result of the test depends significantly on the test temperature

4.5 Expression of results

4.5.1 Method of calculation

equation:

where

The arithmetical mean value of the three test results shall be calculated

4.5.2 Precision of the test method

The precision of the test method is not specified

5 Test report

The test report shall include at least the following information:

a) all details necessary to identify the product tested and identification of the whole waterproofing system

including asphalt layer and application temperature, type and quantity of the primer;

b) a reference to this document (EN 13596) and any deviation from it;

c) information on preparation of test specimens in accordance with 4.3 and EN 13375, specimens prepared by

and witnessed by which organisation;

d) information about the procedure in accordance with Clause 4.4, test temperature, surface temperature and test

area;

e) the test results and failure mode according to Clause 4.5 for each individual test, mean value if relevant;

f) the dates of delivery and preparation of specimens;

g) the date of tests
