Srps En 13670

By following this standard, Serbian engineers and contractors align themselves with European best practices. It facilitates:

The standard is structured into several chapters that address the main phases of concrete construction:

Valid for both permanent and temporary concrete structures.

Similar to structural steel standards, SRPS EN 13670 often uses execution classes (though they are not as strictly defined as in EN 1090). Instead, the standard relies on specific tolerance classes and inspection levels assigned in the documentation based on the risk and complexity of the project. 3. Tolerances and Inspection Levels srps en 13670

Note: As of June 2024, the standard has a revised project naSRPS EN 13670:2024, confirming its ongoing relevance in Serbian construction practice. 6. Benefits of Adhering to SRPS EN 13670

Failure to follow this standard typically results in defects (cracks, leaks, structural failure) and liability for the construction company.

The scope of SRPS EN 13670 includes the execution of concrete structures for buildings and civil engineering works. This standard applies to: Instead, the standard relies on specific tolerance classes

Using plastic sheeting, water spraying, or chemical curing membranes.

The standard breaks down the construction process into several critical management areas: 1. Execution Management

The standard defines three levels of inspection: By following this standard

SRPS EN 13670 ( Execution of concrete structures ) is the Serbian national standard that mirrors the European EN 13670 framework. It provides common requirements for the execution of concrete structures to bridge the gap between design (governed by Eurocodes, specifically ) and the materials used (governed by SRPS EN 206 for concrete). Scope of the Standard The standard applies to the execution of: Cast-in-situ (monolithic) concrete structures. Precast concrete structures and components. Both permanent and temporary concrete structures. Reinforced and prestressed concrete frameworks.

If an execution falls outside specified tolerances, an engineering assessment must be carried out to determine if remedial actions (such as structural strengthening) are required. 7. Quality Management and Inspection

SRPS EN 13670 is organized into several technical modules that guide the builder through each phase of construction:

The standard is divided into several critical sections that govern how concrete work is performed on-site:

Correct use of spacers to ensure "concrete cover" (protection against rust). 4. Concreting Operations
