Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee NA 005-07-02 Betontechnik in Section 07 Beton-
und Stahlbeton/Deutscher Ausschuss für Stahlbeton of the Normenausschuss Bauwesen (Building and Civil
Engineering Standard Committee).
The DIN 1045 standards series “Plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures” comprises the
following Parts:
⎯ Part 2 Concrete — Specification, performance, production and conformity — Application rules for
DIN EN 206-1
⎯ Part 3 Workmanship
⎯ Part 4 Supplementary specifications governing the production and conformity of precast elements
DIN EN 206-1, Concrete — Specification, performance, production and conformity permits the use of national
application rules in a number of sections in order to take into account differences in climatic and geographic
conditions, safety levels and established regional practices. These national application rules for Germany are
given in this standard.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with DIN EN 206-1, applying to in-situ and precast concrete,
including precast elements, used for buildings and civil engineering works.
In this standard, the same clause numeration and headings are used as in DIN EN 206-1. Any departures
Normen-Download-Beuth-Vinci Construction Grands Projets-KdNr.6986426-LfNr.5925062001-2012-10-03 08:53
from DIN EN 206-1 (i.e. additional text, substitutions, deletions) are indicated in cursive text on the left-
hand side of the page, with any new wording given on the right-hand side. This standard incorporates
Amendment A2 issued in June 2007 (DIN 1045-2/A2) and Amendment A3 issued in January 2008 as a draft
standard (DIN 1045-2/A3), and allows for the requirements specified in DIN V 20000-100, DIN V 20000-103
and DIN V 20000-104 (now withdrawn), and in DIN V 20000-106 and DIN V 20000-107.
Amendments
This standard differs from DIN 1045-2:2001-07, DIN 1045-2/A2:2007-06, DIN V 20000-100:2002-11,
DIN V 20000-103:2004-04 and DIN V 20000-104:2004-04 as follows:
a) The specifications for fly ash and for cement containing fly ash have been amended for exposure classes
XF2 and XF4.
c) Requirements have been included for admixtures (as in DIN V 20000-100), aggregates (as in
DIN V 20000-103 and DIN V 20000-104), fly ash (as in DIN V 20000-106) and silica fume (as in
DIN V 20000-107).
e) Specifications regarding the use of cement as in DIN EN 197-1 have been introduced.

DIN 1045-2:2008-08
f) Requirements from the Musterliste der Technischen Baubestimmungen (List of approved standards and
specifications under the Musterbauordnung (German Model Building Code)) (e.g. as regards the use of
pigments) and the Bauregelliste (Construction Products List) have been adopted.

[Link].1 General The k-value concept permits type II additions to be taken into
account:
If fly ash or silica fume is taken into account under the conditions
stated in [Link].2 to [Link].4, the minimum cement content as a
function of the exposure class, as specified in 5.3.2 and line 3 of
Tables F.2.1 and F.2.2, may be reduced to that given in line 4 of

the water/cement ratio.
[Link].4 k-value concept for combinations of fly ash and silica fume
If fly ash and silica fume are used in combination, the silica fume
content shall be not more than 11 % (m/m) of the cement.
If both fly ash and silica fume are taken into account when
calculating the minimum cement content, the latter may be
reduced to the level specified in line 4 of Tables F.2.1 and F.2.2
for all exposure classes except XF2 and XF4, provided that the
combined content of cement, fly ash and silica fume (c + f + s) is
not less than the minimum cement content from line 3 of
Tables F.2.1 and F.2.2.
26
DIN 1045-2:2008-08
For all exposure classes with the exception of XF2 and XF4, the
equivalent water/cement ratio, (w/c)eq, obtained as w/(c + 0,4f +
1,0s), may be used instead of the water/cement ratio provided
that the maximum fly ash content is not more than 33 % (m/m) of
the cement and the maximum silica fume is not more than 11 %
by total mass of the cement.
The use of fly ash and silica fume in combination is not permitted

Aggregate that does not meet the requirements for categories MS18 and MS25 as in DIN EN 12620 or whose percentage loss in
mass exceeds 8 % when using a 1 % NaCl solution as mentioned above may be used for exposure class XF2 or XF4 concrete (cf.
Table F.2.2 of the present standard) only if, when testing as in clause 4 of V DIN 18004:2004-04, the loss in mass of the concrete
after 56 cycles does not exceed 500 g/m2.
NOTE Due to the lack of experience in the use of this test method as applied to aggregates, this value is to be considered
provisional, and other limiting values are permitted, subject to agreement.

d Lightweight aggregate that does not meet the requirements for category F4 (as in Table 18 of DIN EN 12620) may be used for
exposure class XF1 concrete (cf. Table F.2.2 of the present standard) only if, when testing as in clause 4 of V DIN 18004:2004-04,
the loss in mass of the concrete after 56 cycles does not exceed 500 g/m2. As an alternative, the same method may be used for
testing exposure class XF1 concrete of a composition as ready for use.
NOTE Due to the lack of experience in the use of this test method as applied to aggregates, this value is to be considered
provisional, and other limiting values are permitted, subject to agreement.
e As an alternative, the chloride ions content of the concrete in accordance with subclause 5.2.7 of the present standard is to be
