Overview

oSIST ISO/DIS 14824-1:2012, titled "Grout for prestressing tendons – Part 1: Basic requirements," is an international standard developed by SIST (Slovenian Institute for Standardization) and ISO. This standard establishes the baseline requirements for materials, composition, and essential properties of cement grout used in prestressing tendons, ensuring robust protection and performance in structural applications. Applicable to the grouting of tendons in diverse structures, such as bridges and buildings, ISO 14824-1 provides a consistent framework to support quality, safety, and durability in post-tensioned and prestressed concrete construction.

Key Topics

  • Materials and Composition: Guidance on the types of cement, water, admixtures, and additions permissible in grout formulation, referencing compliance with relevant national and international specifications.
  • Mixing and Batching: Requirements for batching by mass or volume, accuracy tolerances, and processes for ensuring homogeneous grout mixes in both on-site and pre-bagged factory conditions.
  • Grout Properties: Performance criteria for essential properties, tested at various temperatures. These include:
    • Sieve test for homogeneity
    • Fluidity for effective injection and application
    • Bleeding control to prevent segregation
    • Volume change tolerances
    • Compressive strength (minimum values specified)
    • Setting time (minimum and maximum)
    • Density declaration
  • Evaluation of Conformity: Mandates procedures for initial type testing, audit testing, and ongoing production control to ensure compliance and maintain consistent quality over time.
  • Documentation: Requirement for manufacturers to declare mix proportions, mixing equipment specifications, accepted water/cement ratios, and the thermal range of suitability.

Applications

ISO 14824-1 delivers practical value for a range of stakeholders in the construction industry, particularly where prestressed or post-tensioned concrete is deployed:

  • Infrastructure Projects: Offers assurance for bridge builders and civil engineers that grouts applied comply with globally recognized material and performance requirements, helping mitigate structural risks such as tendon corrosion and void formation.
  • Building Construction: Supports safe and durable grouting of tendons in commercial and residential buildings, enhancing the longevity and structural integrity of concrete elements.
  • Grout Manufacturers: Provides clear direction on required material certifications, production controls, and documentation, promoting consistency and reliability in product delivery.
  • Quality Assurance and Compliance: Enables regulatory bodies and independent certifiers to audit grout manufacturers systematically against standardized criteria, streamlining approvals and inspections.

By addressing the key factors that impact grout performance-such as compatibility, batch consistency, and strength-ISO 14824-1 helps ensure that prestressing tendons are protected from corrosion, achieve the necessary bond with concrete, and contribute effectively to the overall design objectives of the structure.

Related Standards

For full application, ISO 14824-1 should be used in conjunction with the following standards:

  • ISO 14824-2: Grouting procedures for prestressing tendons-details on execution and quality control in the field
  • ISO 14824-3: Test methods for grout properties-specifies referenced procedures for verifying conformance
  • ISO 9597: Methods for testing cement-specifically setting times and soundness
  • ISO 22965-2: Specifications and compliance of constituent materials in concrete production
  • ISO 22966: Execution of concrete structures-provides additional execution guidance
  • EN 445: Grout for prestressing tendons-alternative test methods relevant to European applications

Adhering to ISO 14824-1 enhances construction quality, reduces risks associated with tendon grouting, and facilitates international collaboration and trade in construction materials and practices.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14824-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 71, Concrete, reinforced concrete and pre-
stressed concrete, Subcommittee SC 3, Concrete production and execution of concrete structures.
ISO 14824 consists of the following parts, under the general title Grout for prestressing tendons:
— Part 1: Basic requirements
— Part 2: Grouting procedures
— Part 3: Test methods
iv © ISO 2012 – All rights reserved

Introduction
In post-tensioned prestressed concrete construction, the grouting of tendons is an important operation.
The intention of this part of ISO 14824 is to provide basic requirements for the approval of cement
grouts, compliance with which will satisfy the requirements in ISO 22966.
The main function of grouting is to:
— protect the prestressing steel against corrosion;
— provide a bond between the prestressing steel and the ducts where required for the design of
the structure;
— allow transfer of compressive stresses in the structure in a direction transverse to internal tendons;
— fill all voids where water may accumulate and cause frost damage.
The testing regimes anticipated by this part of ISO 14824 include three levels:
(1) initial type and audit testing in accordance with this part of ISO 14824;
(2) suitability testing for confirmation of the selected grout for a specific project in accordance with
ISO 14824-2;
(3) inspection during grouting works on a specific project in accordance with ISO 14824-2.
The test methods for each of the regimes are given in ISO 14824-3.
In some countries requirements exist for independent third-party certification of grout and grouting
procedures which should be set out in national requirements to supplement ISO 22966.
Certain special structures or tendon configurations can require grouts with enhanced performance.
Any resulting necessary amendment of the requirements of this part of ISO 14824 needs to be included
in the execution specification.
