The Fourth Edition of the most comprehensive collection of information on concrete repair ever assembled in a single source. It includes over 70 documents from many of the associations involved in the concrete repair industry’s Vision 2020 plan, including ACI, ICRI, NACE, SSPC, and the Army Corps of Engineers, and from the United Kingdom: the BRE and the Concrete Society.
This presentation is based on the updated revisions to the original document entitled Guide for the Selection of Grouts to Control Leakage in Concrete Structures. This webinar addresses the selection of chemical grouts typically used to control and/or mitigate the ingress of water in concrete structures, specifically cracks and joints.
Galvanized corrugated metal and concrete underground culverts are common infrastructure in North American highways and stormwater management. A shotcrete lining is a cost-effective and efficient method to strengthen and significantly extend their useful life.
Discover the innovative and sustainable advantages of shotcrete, a highly efficient concrete placement technique that offers engineers unparalleled flexibility in shaping and reinforcing concrete structures while achieving superior strength and durability.
This demonstration shows Sika's new one coat traffic coating systems. Sikalastic®-720 One Shot is a two-component, integral texture, fast-curing, aliphatic, elastomeric polyurethane waterproofing coating intended for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Applied in a single step, Sikalastic®-720 One Shot replaces the need for a base coat and multiple topcoats. Sikalastic®-726 Balcony One Shot is a two-component, aliphatic, elastomeric polyurethane traffic coating system that has both superior flexibility and abrasion resistance. Easily applied in a single coat, with or without primer, and designed for pedestrian traffic, specifically balcony and pedestrian applications.
Demonstration will show the use of an anti-washout additive for use in cementitious repair systems. The demonstration will show systems with and without the additive to exhibit the system’s function in water. The additive holds the mortar together to reduce loss of paste material into the surrounding water. This reduces water contamination and improves the performance of the hardened state concrete.
This webinar will review issues that should be addressed when preparing a specification for concrete repair. ICRI developed an editable specification titled “Guide Specification for Structural Concrete Repairs” that can be used by design professionals. The webinar reviews the specification and discusses decisions that should be considered when developing a concrete repair specification.
This special publication is a compilation of existing articles on various structural strengthening, stiffening, and stabilization topics, including external bonded reinforcement, external post-tensioning, internal post-tensioning, section enlargement and overlays, supplemental framing and span shortening, and strengthening and stabilization of masonry structures. The purpose is to provide engineers and contractors with a single-source overview of the various materials and techniques available to solve strengthening, stiffening, and stabilization problems. The wealth of information provided should provide invaluable “food for thought” to facilitate the strengthening, stiffening, and stabilization design process.
ICRI in-person conventions consist of numerous networking opportunities. In many cases, we catch up with old friends who we have not seen in a while, and get to know new friends. Great stories abound, including how ICRI members came to be involved in the organization. Tune in to hear some of these stories in a relaxed, “sitting-at-the-bar” exchange among notable ICRI leaders.
