Abstract:
Discusses the use of ASTM standard material specification C 881-78 Epoxy Resin-Based Bonding Systems for Concrete and the ACI standard specifica-tions for use of these bonding systems: hardened materials to hardened concrete, ACI 503.1-79; plastic mortar or concrete to hardened concrete, ACI 503.2-79; producing skid-resistant surfaces on concrete, ACI 503.3-79; and the repair of concrete with epoxy mortars, ACI 503.4-79. The advantages and ease of using standard material specifications in conjunction with standard specifications describing the work are discussed. The technical reasons for the ASTM standard test methods for epoxy resin bonding systems are also covered. *
