What is BS EN 13282-1 – HRB conformity criteria about?
Hydraulic road binders (HRB) are chemical stabilizers made by blending supplementary cementitious materials with portland cement clinker. BS EN 13282-1 is the first part of the hydraulic road binders multi-series.
BS EN 13282-1 defines and gives the specifications for rapid hardening HRB, produced in a factory and supplied ready for the treatment of materials for bases, sub-bases, and capping layers as well as earthworks, in the road, railway, airport, and other types of infrastructure.
BS EN 13282-1 includes the mechanical, physical, and chemical requirements and the classification of these binders based on their compressive strength at 7 days and 28 days. BS EN 13282-1 also includes the conformity criteria and evaluation procedures to be applied by the manufacturer.
Who is BS EN 13282-1 - HRB conformity criteria for?
BS EN 13282-1 on HRB conformity criteria is useful for:
- Roadway / highway authorities
- Relevant government / municipal authorities
- Manufacturers of hydraulic road binder
- Manufacturers of concrete and concrete products
- Infrastructure contractors
- Civil engineers
- Product development engineers/innovation teams
- Quality control personnel
BS EN 13282-1 on HRB conformity criteria also applies to relevant authorities that commission work for paving public places, railway platforms, airports, ports, and similar work.
Why should you use BS EN 13282-1 - HRB conformity criteria?
HRBs are finished products, produced in a factory, and supplied ready for use. They are differentiated according to their strength development into rapid hardening hydraulic road binders, specified in BS EN 13282-1, and normal hardening HRB, specified in EN 13282-2. EN 13282-3 defines the conformity evaluation procedure for hydraulic road binders according to BS EN 13282-2.
BS EN 13282-1 provides you with the physical and chemical requirements, durability requirements, requirements on composition, as well as general requirements for hydraulic road binders. In addition, BS EN 13282-1 provides you with guidelines for fineness, initial setting time, soundness as well as conformity criteria for HRB.
Using BS EN 13282-1 guidelines, you would be able to create and manufacture rapid hardening hydraulic road binders that comply with mechanical, physical, and chemical requirements.
Using BS EN 13282-1 guidelines, you would have access to the specifications and conformity criteria for rapid hardening hydraulic road binders so that you can manufacture and supply high-quality road binders that contribute to long-last paving solutions for users.
