Water Penetration Test in Concrete

The Bautechnische Versuchsanstalt testing laboratory conducted tests on concrete samples with HIT V-R M12x150 anchor rods installed using HIT-RE 500 adhesive. Five concrete cubes were cast with a C25/30 mix and anchors were installed. The samples were subjected to 500 kPa of water pressure for 72 hours. Test results showed no water penetration past the anchors. Plain concrete samples were also tested under pressure, showing a maximum penetration of 34 mm. Compressive strength tests yielded a mean strength of 45.3 MPa, meeting the specified C25/30 class.

MISCELLANEOUS
The Hilti Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH contracted the Testing Laboratory at the HTL Rankweil
(Bautechnische Versuchsanstalt an der HTL Rankweil) to conduct tests to determine the depth of
penetration of water under pressure in hardened concrete, when anchor rods HIT V-R M12x150
are installed with the adhesive mortar HIT-RE 500.
Following test procedure was agreed upon between the ordering party and the Testing Laboratory:
-

casting of 5 concrete samples using C25/30 Dmax 22, cubes with 200 mm edge-length;

installation of the anchor rod HIT V-R M12x150 with HIT-RE 500 according to the
instructions given by the ordering party;

testing the samples according to EN 12390-8:2009 respectively to ISO 1920-5:2004 by


applying a water presser of (500 50) kPa for the duration of (72 2) hours.

It was agreed upon, that the specimens in which the anchors were installed are not water-cured for
the whole period between demolding and testing.
In addition to the above described test procedure a series of 3 samples concrete cubes were
fabricated and their compressive strength was determined according to the Austrian Standard
NORM B 3303 respectively to NORM EN 12390-3.
To get informations on the penetration of water under pressure in to the plain concrete, concrete
samples with the dimension 200x200x120 mm were casted with the same mix design, water-cured
till the age of 28 days and then tested according to EN 12390-8.
Tested adhesive anchor:

CASTING OF CONCRETE SPECIMENS


The concrete components were mixed with a laboratory compulsory mixer. After adding the water
the concrete was mixed for 2 minutes. Subsequent to the mixing the concrete flow and the density
of fresh concrete were tested.

The moulds were filled and the concrete was compacted with a vibrating table at 7500 R/min during
30 sec.
Storing and curing the specimens:
All samples were stored 24 hours within the mould at room temperature (20 2) C and the
concrete surface was covered with plastic foil.
After remoulding the specimen were stored as follows:
cubes for compressive-strength test (150 mm edge-length) to the age of 7 days under water at a
temperature of (20 2) C;
subsequently till testing at room temperature (20 2) C.
slabs for the water-penetration test (200x200x120 mm)
till the start of testing under water at a temperature of (20 2) C.
cubes to test water-penetration of concrete with installed adhesive anchors
till the age of 7 days under water at a temperature of (20 2) C;
subsequently till installing the anchors and testing the water penetration at room
temperature (20 2) C.

SETTING PROCEDURE
The hole was drilled vertically downwards in the centre of a casted surface perpendicular to the
direction of casting. The bore hole was cleaned and diameter and depth were measured. Then
the adhesive was injected using the dispenser MD 2000 and the anchor rod was inserted.
Five samples were prepared and setting was done an 21.04.2009 at 09:55. After setting the
anchors, the adhesive was allowed to cure for > 24 hours at room temperature (20 2) C.
