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.
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.
The information in this technical committee report deals with the design, installation, and maintenance of protective polymer flooring systems that are applied and directly bonded to concrete. Contains detailed information on the aspects of flooring technology, performance properties, surface preparation requirements, installation procedures, and testing to attain long-term service from a variety of polymer flooring systems. (Joint SSPC/NACE/ICRI document).
This upgrde option is available for those who purchased the Education Coure of the CSRT program, and are looking to upgrade to the full certification program. This product includes the knowledge exam and the performance exam portions, but does NOT include the education. The education course is a prerequisite for completing this course. you will not be able to launch it until the education course is completed.
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
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.
Este lineamiento proporciona una guía sobre la remoción de concreto y los procedimientos para la preparación de la superficie paray la reparación del de concreto deteriorado provocado por la corrosión del acero de refuerzo. Se discuten la geometría de la remoción, la configuración del área de reparación, el proceso de remoción, la preparación del borde, la reparación del refuerzo, la preparación e inspección de la superficie necesarias para las reparaciones durables. Se incluyen consideraciones especiales para la remoción de concreto asociada con la reparación de columnas.
Moisture-related problems with floor coverings and coatings are a serious and costly issue. Each year the direct and in-direct costs associated with such problems amount to billions of unplanned dollars. In this 5-part webinar series, experts in the field of moisture in concrete, testing, mitigation and repair will share information and experience in a ground up approach to the causes and solutions to such problems. The program covers the sources of moisture in concrete, the affect moisture has on slab behavior and the installation of flooring materials, the test methods used to properly assess slab moisture condition, moisture mitigation strategies, and more.
Moisture accumulation and water leakage into retail, commercial, and residential habitable spaces, including industrial facilities and below-grade parking structures, is the number one construction defect claim in our industry. The entire building envelope is a moisture barrier. Below-grade moisture barriers are required to keep water from leaking “into” and/or “out from” the structure. Water leakage inflow or outflow, and moisture accumulation within, can lead to health, safety and environmental issues involving the cost of operations and facility maintenance. Active water leakage, intermittent wetness, cavity wall moisture accumulation, and vapor transmission, can lead to costly problems: mold and mildew development, corrosion, contaminated water clean-up and disposal, slippery surfaces, and property damage.
This demonstration will show FastPatch DPR, an easy to install, long-lasting repair material for distressed pavement that can be applied in warm or cooler climates. It can be used with FastPatch Kicker (accelerator) to form a fast-curing permanent repair that is ready for traffic in a short period of time. DPR has excellent adhesion, absorbs impact and is freeze-thaw resistant. It can easily create smooth transitions and ultra-tough level surfaces. Its minimal site preparation and fast cure times reduce traffic interruptions. The product is completely odorless making it also suitable for indoor applications.
