EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 13813 testing. This standard defines performance regarding working time, consistency, pH value for fresh screed material, and modulus of compressive strength, bending strength, abrasion resistance, surface hardness, resistance to indentation, resistance to rolling wheel, shrinkage and swelling, for hardened screed material.
It enables the assessment of the product's conformity with this draft European standard. Marking requirements for products covered by this draft European standard are included. This standard covers screed materials defined in prEN 13318.
Gaining sufficient strength and durability of concrete largely depends on its proper placement during pouring. Failure to perform this process properly prevents the formation of voids in the concrete, resulting in a decrease in strength and durability, and the protection of the reinforcements surrounded by concrete from physical and chemical effects.
Ordinary concretes are generally compacted by vibration, and the quality of compaction depends on the worker using the vibrator. Recently developed self-compacting concretes have filled an important gap in terms of minimizing the human factor in the structure and have eliminated the strength and durability problems related to compression and placement processes.
Self-compacting screeds are inevitably slightly more expensive than other screeds due to the additional costs of additives and high binder ratio; however, the advantages it brings in terms of application time and amount of labor during construction have reached rates to compensate for these additional costs.
