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 bundle includes the 110.1 (2016), 110.2 (2020), 330.2 (2016) Guide Specifications. The documents cover Guide Specifications for Structural Concrete Repair, Epoxy Injection, and Externally Bonded FRP Fabric Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures, respectively.
Testing moisture in concrete doesn't need to be complicated. Five (5) currently recognized ASTM test protocols for testing concrete slabs for moisture will be explained using the "How and Why" perspective while providing the proper, yet basic, scientific context behind their usage.
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.
This demonstration will take the audience through the entire process involved in the safe and effective installation of our GeoTree RenewWrap CFRP product.
Vertical/overhead repair mortars are traditionally hand- or spray-applied. Small repairs are suitable for hand application; whereas, low pressure spray equipment is useful for large projects. Mortar guns are commonly used for tuckpointing applications using site-mixed, masonry mortar. As most vertical/overhead concrete repair materials exhibit a stiff consistency, such mortar guns have not been widely implemented in concrete repair applications. With its unique, thixotropic rheology, MasterEmaco N 425 is well suited for use with such equipment. This demonstration presents the ease of application of MasterEmaco N 425 using a Quikpoint 3000 mortar gun.
Demonstration will show how to apply solvent-based concrete sealers and discuss the various considerations to keep in mind, tools you will need, how to prepare your surface area, ideal environmental conditions for use of the sealers, the step-by-step application process, and how to safely clean up the area following application.
The general sentiment around construction and modern technology is that the industry has been slow to embrace it. While this is true of the past, the current and future construction industry is all about modern technology. Not only does technology help to make the industry safer (something that has been a struggle for a very long time), but it is helping contractors to take back control of their budgets, to make smarter choices about project planning and equipment and is, consequently, pushing the green-construction trend forward. The purpose of this presentation is to provide a summary on the current technologies being used in the construction industry with a focus on concrete and to dig even further as to how these can be applied to repair projects. It will provide case studies on how using technology to bring ambient and concrete temperature, relative humidity and strength (among other) data online can help contractors be more efficient.
