ASTM A981 Test to Evaluate Inch Bond Strength

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM A981 testing. This standard describes procedures for establishing a 0.600-inch relative bond strength.

[15.24-mm] diameter, steel prestressed rope in Grade 270 [1860] cement grout, used in prestressed ground anchors to evaluate the effects of fabrication practices on bond strength.

The bond strength values ​​obtained are not used to design the bond length of ground anchors based on site conditions.

This test method is not intended for use as a bond test for prestressed concrete applications.

Values ​​stated in inch-pounds or SI units should be considered standard. In the text, SI units are shown in parentheses. Values ​​specified in each system may not be exactly equivalent; therefore, each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values ​​from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
