Section 3133 Concrete Repair

Section 3133 Concrete Repair, based on SYSTEM 44, is a detailed concrete restoration specification, intended primarily for deck and horizontal concrete surface repair. It is organized in a Section 3133 Concrete Repair format. The specification provides for such options as factory supervision/inspection of work in various stages, as well as for product customization. Review these options carefully, and determine how these issues relate to the particular project before including them in any project specifications. The preparation section includes references to ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute) guidelines for removal and detailing involving existing unsound materials. Copies of technical guideline #03730 may be obtained from ICRI by calling the institute at 703-450-0116 during normal east coast US business hours, or visit ICRI on line at http://www.icri.org.

Aesthetic Repair Materials: Properties & Selection, by Michael P. Edison. Manuscript of a feature article which appeared in ICRI Concrete Repair Bulletin, Jan./Feb. `98 issue

SPEC-JOINT 46 Type N Repointing Mortar in Conjunction with EZ Spred Mortar Admixture
Laboratory Results for Evaluation of SPEC-JOINT 46 Type N Repointing Mortar in Conjunction with EZ Spred Mortar Admixture (by others), to Aid in Mechanical, High-Volume Repointing. Detailed data on compressive strength and shrinkage are presented, based on work performed at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Ellicott Complex. The admixture was tested for use in improving the flow characteristics of SPEC-JOINT 46 mortar through a Thin Line pump, to place repointing mortar at high production rates. The conclusion was that Spec Joint 46N performed better when the additive was not used.
