This guideline is intended to assist the contractor, licensed design professional, and owner in the development of performance specifications for quality assurance and quality control of epoxy injection of concrete cracks. It includes process-control methods to assess if satisfactory injection work is being performed. Quality assurance methods described include visual observations and testing samples during the injection work, and removing concrete core samples and performing nondestructive testing of completed repairs.
This guideline is intended to provide information on electrochemical techniques used to mitigate the corrosion of steel in atmospherically exposed concrete structures. The information presented is based on testing and the experience of owners, engineers, contractors, and suppliers. This guideline includes information on impressed current and galvanic cathodic protection, electrochemical chloride extraction, and realkalization.
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.
Familiarity with contract types, the selection of appropriate repair work items, and documentation of completed work is essential for successful completion of a concrete repair project.This guide is intended to assist owners, consultants, and contractors in defining recommended methods of quantity measurement and contract types for concrete repair work.
This guideline provides information on the properties and characteristics of grout materials for selection of a proper grout material to control water leakage through cracks and other discontinuities in concrete structures. It is also for the selection of grout materials for crack injection to control leaks through cracks in concrete structures. (formerly no. 03738).
This guideline is intended to provide information on electrochemical techniques used to mitigate the corrosion of steel in atmospherically exposed concrete structures. The information presented is based on testing and the experience of owners, engineers, contractors, and suppliers. This guideline includes information on impressed current and galvanic cathodic protection, electrochemical chloride extraction, and realkalization.
This updated and revised guideline will assist contractors, NDE service providers, owners, design professionals, and material suppliers in the selection of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for evaluating the condition of concrete structures. NDE methods can be very useful to perform a condition assessment prior to repairs and to provide quality control and assurance of repairs and long-term performance monitoring. Considerations in planning and executing an NDE program, including correlating with destructive methods, are discussed in the guideline. Guidance, including a brief synopsis of each method, is presented for selecting which NDE methods are appropriate for the concrete property/condition being assessed.
This guide provides a recommended method of evaluating the adequacy of concrete surface preparation and tensile bond strength of cementitious and polymer concrete surface repairs using the in-situ drilled core tensile pulloff test. The guide outlines equipment and material requirements, the test procedure, reporting, and acceptance criteria. This update also includes failure modes for concrete substrate tests.
The intent of this document is to provide objective, standards-based comparison for the
specification, evaluation, and approval of the degree of surface preparation of exposed
conventional reinforcing steel by abrasive media blasting and mechanical hand tool methods.
This guide is designed for use with associated illustrative materials available in digital or
physical form through ICRI.
This guideline describes the tools, techniques, and processes that are used in the evaluation of masonry façade structures. It offers background into the history and evolution of masonry structure design and construction.
