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.
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.
Especificar el equipo adecuado para la mezcla, aplicación y acabado de materiales de reparación de concreto es extremadamente difícil, puesto que la industria utiliza varios nombres para el mismo equipo y los mismos nombres para diferentes equipos. Muchos tipos diferentes de paletas mezcladoras y mezcladoras pueden producir diferentes consistencias y propiedades en los productos de reparación de concreto. Especificar los tipos de mezcladoras mecánicas adecuados también es difícil, pues el término “mezclador de mortero” tiene muchos significados diferentes. La intención de este documento no es defender un tipo de equipo de mezclado, aplicación o acabado en comparación con otro ni discutir la eficiencia relativa u otras propiedades, sino simplemente proporcionar una sola fuente de referencia común que puede utilizarse en el oficio al describir o especificar el equipo de mezclado, aplicación o acabado para concreto.
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.
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 guide specification aids the Design Professional in the preparation of technical specifications for inclusion directly into a project manual for the construction of cementitious bonded overlays that are in line with the state-of-the-art materials and methods used in the concrete repair industry. The document provides an outline for developing the three parts of the specification through suggested text, references, and commentary for evaluating alternatives. This specification section must be used with ICRI 110.1, Guide Specifications for Structural Concrete Repairs. Both the printed and PDF copies include a Word document with hidden text for easy modification of text to meet specific cementitious bonded overlay project requirements. PDF version is free to ICRI members when ordered online.
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.
Outlines the steps in preparing concrete for replacement material in areas where corroded reinforcing steel has caused cracking, spalling, delamination, or other types of deterioration. Topics covered include exposing and undercutting reinforcing steel, edge and surface conditioning, repair of reinforcing steel, and removal geometry.
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.
