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 1 Design and construction

⎯ 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

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and DIN V 20000-104 (now withdrawn), and in DIN V 20000-106 and DIN V 20000-107.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.

b) Moisture classes as specified in DAfStb-Richtlinie Vorbeugende Maßnahmen gegen schädigende Alkali-


reaktion im Beton have been adopted.

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).

d) Specifications for fibre reinforced concrete have been introduced.

e) Specifications regarding the use of cement as in DIN EN 197-1 have been introduced.

5
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.

g) References have been updated.

Lightweight aggregates to DIN EN 13055-1 may not be used if


they contain organic matter or other harmful components in such
quantities as are likely to alter the rate of setting and hardening
of concrete (cf. DIN EN 13055-1:2002-08, 5.5).

Natural lightweight aggregates shall be assessed for their


suitability by checking their effect on the setting time and the
compressive strength of concrete in accordance with
DIN EN 1744-1:1998-05, 15.3.

Natural lightweight aggregates with components known or with


the potential to react with alkali may only be used for structural
members if their suitability in terms of resistance to alkali-silica
reaction has been verified. The suitability is established for tuff,
pumice and volcanic slag.

Foam glass in granular form (cf. DIN EN 13055-1) may only be


used subject to its resistance to alkali-silica reaction having been
verified when testing in accordance with DIN V 18004:2004-04,
clause 8. The resistance is deemed adequate if the compressive
strength of the mortar or concrete specimens at an age of one
year is not more than 15 % lower than at an age of 28 days.

Foam glass in granular form (cf. DIN EN 13055-1) may be used


for lightweight concrete provided design parameters of the
concrete such as modulus of elasticity, shrinkage and creep have
been established in initial testing and the relevant requirements
have been complied with. The coefficient of linear thermal
Normen-Download-Beuth-Vinci Construction Grands Projets-KdNr.6986426-LfNr.5925062001-2012-10-03 08:53

expansion of foam glass may be assumed to be 6 · 10–6K–1.

NOTE Design parameters should be specified following consultation


with the structural designer.

Sintered pulverized-fuel ash pellets and granulated boiler slag to


DIN EN 13055-1 may only be used if they originate from power
stations firing ground anthracite or hard coal.

Proof is to be furnished in the form of an agrément of the


suitability of sintered pulverized-fuel ash and granulated boiler
slag originating from power stations firing fuel other than that
specified above.

Proof is also to be furnished in the form of an agrément that


manufactured aggregates except exfoliated vermiculite,
expanded perlite, expanded slate and clay, crushed brick made
from unused material and expanded blastfurnace slag as in
DIN 4301 are biocompatible. Such proof is to be provided for
sintered pulverized-fuel ash and granulated boiler slag originating
from thermal power stations only if secondary fuels are fired
together with coal.

5.2.4 Use of recycled water

Reference to DIN EN 1008 is substituted


for that to prEN 1008.

The following paragraph is added: The use of recycled water is not permitted for production of high-
strength concrete and aerated concrete.

5.2.5 Use of additions

[Link] General

The following wording is substituted: Subject to the specifications of 9.5, type I and type II additions
shall be used in the same quantities as in initial testing.

Type II additions as specified in 5.1.6 may be taken into account


when calculating the cement content and the water/cement ratio
provided their suitability is established.

The suitability of the k-value concept is established for fly ash


and silica fume.

If cement containing silica fume is used as the main constituent,


silica fume shall not also be used as an addition.

For prestressed concrete in which the tendons are to be in direct


contact with the concrete, only fly ash and silica fume or inert
mineral filler to DIN EN 12620 and pigments known not to have
an inadvertent effect on prestressing steel shall be used as
additions.

Only fly ash of category A*) for the loss on ignition shall be used.
Normen-Download-Beuth-Vinci Construction Grands Projets-KdNr.6986426-LfNr.5925062001-2012-10-03 08:53

Only fly ash having no impact on the environment (particularly as


on the ground water or soil) shall be used, proof of which shall be
provided in the form of an agrément.

Only silica fume originating from the production of silicon metal or


ferrosilicon alloys shall be used.

Condensed silica fume may only be used if its density is known


and a uniform distribution of the fume in the concrete mix is
ensured.

Silica fume in suspension, which is known to be susceptible to


segregation, may only be used if the suspension is homogenized
on site before being added to the concrete mix.

For reinforced or prestressed concrete, silica fume may only be


used if it does not contain any harmful components in quantities
likely to cause corrosion of the steel.

*) Translator’s note: As defined in DIN EN 450-1.

23
DIN 1045-2:2008-08

It should be noted that oxyhydrogen gas may form if the content


of elemental silicon in silica fume exceeds 0,4 % (m/m).

Where the chloride content of silica fume in prestressed concrete


is higher than 0,2 % (m/m), the specifications of Table 10 shall
be complied with.

In order to ensure adequate homogeneity of the concrete mix,


the area per unit mass or volume of silica fume should be as
uniform as possible.

[Link] k-value concept

The following wording shall be


substituted:

[Link].1 General The k-value concept permits type II additions to be taken into
account:

⎯ by replacing the term “water/cement ratio” (defined in


DIN EN 206-1, 3.1.31) with “equivalent water/cement ratio”,
(w/c)eq, (defined in 3.1.52), obtained as follows:

C.2.1 Initial assessment of production control

A new second paragraph is added: If a mobile facility changes location after inspection, it shall be
checked in the first routine inspection that no essential changes
have taken place since the initial inspection.

The following text is substituted for the To provide confidence in the results of production control, the
fourth paragraph: inspection body shall perform spot tests in parallel to those of the
producer. Such tests are to be carried out by an inspection body
at a site other than at the manufacturer’ works.

The note is replaced by the following: NOTE On the basis of this report, the accredited certification body will
decide on the certification of the concrete (see C.3.1).

C.2.2.1 Routine inspection

The seventh paragraph is supplemented The check shall be carried out by the inspection body at least
by the following: once a year or whenever there are major changes in production
conditions.

C.2.2.2 Extraordinary inspections

The following shall be added to the text An extraordinary inspection shall also be requested if the results
after the fourth dash: from production control do not seem plausible.

44
DIN 1045-2:2008-08

The results of compressive strength testing shall be examined for


plausibility from three aspects:

⎯ For initial production:

Plausibility of the conformity assessment of initial production


as in DIN EN 206-1, Table 14, line 2.
Where at least 35 individual results have been obtained for
conformity assessment of initial production, the mean and
standard deviation of these results, fcm and σ, respectively,
shall be calculated.

⎯ For continuous production:

Plausibility of the conformity assessment of continuous


production as in DIN EN 206-1, Table 14, line 3.
For both initial production and continuous production,
plausibility of the compressive strength test results shall be
assumed if a check of the normal distribution of the
compressive strength test results gives a positive result and
the standard deviation appears plausible.

⎯ Plausibility of the compatibility of results of third-party


inspection with those of production control:
If the inspection body takes samples for compressive
strength tests, the results shall be checked for compatibility
with the results from production control. The plausibility of
the results shall be assumed if the check for compatibility
gives a positive result.

NOTE The check for normal distribution should always be


Normen-Download-Beuth-Vinci Construction Grands Projets-KdNr.6986426-LfNr.5925062001-2012-10-03 08:53

supplemented by an analysis of the data in the probability net. If the


check for normal distribution gives a negative result, the presentation in
the probability net may indicate the form this deviation has taken, which,
in certain circumstances, may enable the causes for deviation from
normal distribution to be inferred.

The consistence test results are plausible if stiffening is taken


into account over the whole anticipated transportation time and if
the increase in the quantity of water required at elevated
temperatures whilst maintaining a constant water/cement ratio is
taken into account.

C.3 Tasks for certification body

C.3.1 Certification of production control

The heading and text of the clause are C.3.1 Certification of concrete
replaced by the following:
The certification body certifies the concrete on the basis of a
report from the inspection body, that states that the production
unit has passed the initial check of the production control to the
satisfaction of the inspection body and the concrete meets the
requirements specified in this standard.

45
DIN 1045-2:2008-08

It shall be the responsibility of the certification body to decide on


any further validity of the certificate on the basis of the reports of
the continuous surveillance.

C.3.2 Measures in case of non-conformity

The third paragraph, including the note, If the extraordinary inspection results in failure, the certification
is replaced by the following: body shall immediately declare the certificate of conformity to be
invalid, and the inspection body shall terminate surveillance of
production control. The certification body will notify the producer
accordingly that his certificate is no longer valid.

Following declaration that the certificate is no longer valid, the


producer is no longer permitted to refer to the certificate of
conformity.

A fifth paragraph is added: The certification body shall apply a documented system to
assess the cases of non-conformity established during the
course of routine and extraordinary inspections. This system
shall take into account the gravity of deviations, their cumulation
and their distribution as a function of time.

Particle size analysis

The particle size analysis of the aggregate is characterized by


grading curves (cf. Figures L.1 to L.4) and, where necessary, by
a related parameter representing particle size distribution or

The composition of size fractions and aggregates is to be


determined as specified in sieving tests to DIN EN 933-1 with
test sieves conforming to DIN ISO 3310-1 or DIN ISO 3310-2.
The grading curves may be discontinuous or steady.

Figures L.1 to L.4 show the following ranges:

1) coarse;

2) gap-graded;

3) coarse to medium coarse;

4) medium coarse to fine;

Instead of determining the magnesium sulfate soundness as in DIN EN 12620, the aggregate may undergo testing using 1 % NaCl
solution as specified in E DIN EN 1367-6.
No generally valid requirements can be specified at present as regards testing the resistance to freezing and de-icing salt using
1 % NaCl solution as described in E DIN EN 1367-6. However, if the percentage loss in mass is found to be greater than 8 %,
proof of adequate resistance to freezing and de-icing salt should be furnished in accordance with clause 4 of
DIN V 18004:2004-04, using concrete of composition as specified there.
Experience has shown that aggregate with a percentage loss in mass not exceeding 8 % may be used in the same applications as
aggregate of categories MS18 and MS35 as in DIN EN 12620.

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.

b Lightweight aggregate 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 4.3 of V DIN 18004:2004-04, 4.3, the loss in mass of the concrete of the composition as specified there does
not exceed 500 g/m2 after 56 cycles. As an alternative, the same method may be used for testing exposure class XF2 or XF4
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.
c As an alternative, the chloride ions content of the concrete in accordance with 5.2.7 of the present standard is to be determined.
