ASTM C882/C882M − 13a Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Epoxy-Resin Systems Used With Concrete By Slant Shear

ASTM C882/C882M − 13a Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Epoxy-Resin Systems Used With Concrete By Slant Shear

Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the bond strength of epoxy-resin-base bonding systems for use with portland-cement concrete.

This test method covers bonding hardened concrete to hardened or freshly-mixed concrete.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.

The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.

Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
