The purpose of this document is to provide a standardized protocol for testing and reporting of data for structural grouts, which includes cement-based and polymer-based materials. It does not address all issues associated with material selection.
This is a reference specification that the architect/engineer can apply to any construction repair and rehabilitation project involving structural concrete by citing it in the project specifications.
Mandatory requirements and optional requirements checklists are provided to assist the architect/engineer in supplementing the provisions of this specification, as required or needed, by designating or specifying individual project requirements. The first section covers general construction requirements for all repair work. The second section covers shoring and bracing of the structure or member to be repaired, and addresses sequencing of repair work as the structure is unloaded and reloaded. The third section covers concrete removal and preparation of the concrete substrate for repair, and defines common equipment and methods. The next five sections cover materials and proportioning of concrete; proprietary cementitious and polymer repair materials; reinforcement; production, placing...
This exciting new publication has been sought for years, and it fills a need for a practical and current guide on evaluating, testing, and, where needed, repairing existing masonry. The book provided background, reference material, and guidance to design professionals, building owners, and contractors on existing masonry. Construction characteristics of masonry structures, typical material properties, and analytical approaches are included for historic, transitional, and modern masonry construction typologies. The main focus of the book is structural stabilization, strengthening, and retrofit with maintenance and serviceability items (such as water penetration and cleaning) addressed as subtopics.
This comprehensive book describes the causes, effects, and remedies for concrete wear and failure. It is a practical guide to evaluation of deterioration and its causes, selection of repair methods and materials, surface preparation, and quality assurance of the finished product. Hundreds of illustrations show users how to analyze, maintain, and repair concrete structures for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
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.
This guideline is intended to assist architects, engineers, owners and their agents, developers, general contractors, and flooring contractors who are accountable for the successful installation of a floor covering or coating over an interior concrete sub-floor that is on, below, or above grade. This guideline provides information regarding moisture issues, moisture testing methods, interpretation of test results, and moisture mitigation strategies. The information provided in the guideline is meant to assist in the successful installation of floor coverings and coatings.
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 is the initial document in a series of guide specifications to be prepared by ICRI. The guide specification offers a methodology for standardizing the essential requirements for structural concrete repairs by providing specification text, optional requirements, and commentary to allow the user to tailor the document to a specific concrete repair project, and use as a technical specification section in a complete project manual. Both the printed and PDF copies include a Word document with hidden text for easy modification of text to meet specific repair project requirements.
This guideline is intended to provide information for the selection and application of materials
for fluid-applied waterproofing systems to concrete for horizontal pedestrian and vehicular
traffic surfaces.
Concrete is subject to deterioration by a variety of mechanisms. Properly selected and applied
traffic membrane systems can protect concrete from deterioration caused by abrasion, moisture
intrusion, environmental forces (freezing-and-thawing cycling), and chemical attack. This
guideline provides information on the common service conditions, basic review of the properties
of concrete, surface preparation, system designs, and materials used for traffic membranes.

Short Description:
This guideline can be used to educate supervisors, craft workers, owners, and engineers in safe work practices for the concrete repair industry. The guideline will have universal appeal, as it has been developed to be a visual tool that depicts the safe performance of specific tasks and the hazards associated with those tasks. The requirements described are based on the most recent OSHA standards and are intended to provide guidance and training in the planning and execution of repair and restoration projects.
