Summarizes the capabilities, operating requirements, and limitations of the various methods used to prepare concrete surfaces for the application of protective sealers, coatings, polymer overlays, and concrete repair. Benchmark profiles are included which provide visual standards for purposes of specification, application, and verification. In this updated version of the guideline you will find; surface retarders and handheld breakers have been added to the surface preparation methods; surface preparation methods have been updated; and a new appendix summarizes considerations for selecting surface preparation methods and describes various test methods used to evaluate the prepared surface. Plus, concrete surface profile (CSP) 10 has been added to reflect a more aggressive CSP used for concrete repair.
This guideline is intended to provide an introduction to hydrodemolition for concrete removal and surface preparation, the benefits and limitations of using hydrodemolition, and an understanding of other aspects to be addressed when incorporating hydrodemolition into a repair project. The guideline provides a description of the equipment, applications, safety procedures, and methods of water control and cleanup.

Illustrates and describes the application methods commonly used for placement of concrete repair materials, along with material requirements, the best applications, and cautions and limitations for each. In addition, engineering considerations, surface preparation, constructability, environmental factors, quality assurance/control, and safety are addressed.

A tool to help designers, specifiers, contractors, and manufacturers make the best possible decisions in selecting materials for the repair of concrete surfaces. It fully describes a process used to develop sound selection criteria that will ensure that, for each project, the material properties needed to produce durable repairs are specified.

The purpose of this document, updated in 2023, is to provide a standardized protocol for testing and reporting of data for inorganic repair materials. Descriptions of material limitations, packaging, storage, label contents, application instructions, material composition, and material properties can be inconsistent, confusing, missing, or misleading. The ACI 364.3R/ICRI 320.3R Cementitious Repair Material Data Sheet—Guide is a first in the industry to provide this information in a standardized, logical, and consistent format so that repair materials can be appropriately selected and specified.
THE RIGHT TOOL AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB. The intent of this document is not to advocate one type of tool or piece of equipment versus another, or discuss tool/equipment efficiency and other properties, but simply to provide a single-source common guide that can be used in the trade when describing and specifying concrete repair tools and equipment. Specifying tools and equipment for mixing and placing concrete repair materials is extremely difficult because the industry uses multiple names for the same tools/equipment and the same names for different tools/equipment. The Problem: Different types of tools and equipment can produce different consistencies and properties in concrete repair products. The Solution: ICRI Technical Guideline 320.5R-2014 will help ensure that the appropriate tools and equipment are properly described and specified.
Dans l'industrie de la construction, il est parfois difficile de spécifier les bons outils pour le mélange, l'application et la finition des matériaux de réparation. En effet, il n'est pas rare qu'un même terme désigne plusieurs outils et qu'à l'inverse, un même outil soit désigné par plusieurs termes. Or, il existe une grande variété de mélangeurs et de palettes de mélange, lesquels confèrent différentes consistances et propriétés aux matériaux de réparation. Le problème se présente aussi avec les mélangeurs mécaniques. Par exemple, le terme "malaxeur à mortier" peut être interprété de diverses manières. L'objectif de ce document n'est pas d'évaluer l'efficacité des outils offerts sur le marché, ni de favoriser l'emploi d'un outil plutôt qu'un autre; il vise simplement à offrir une référence terminologique commune et de source unique aux professionnels de la construction afin de faciliter la description ou la spécification des outils utilisés pour le mélange, l'application et la finit
