ACI SP-169:1997 PDF Download

The ACI SP-169:1997 standard is a publication that consists of case studies and research papers related to the performance of polymer concrete overlays. The standard is divided into two sessions, with the first session focusing on overlays that have been in service for over 10 years, and the second session focusing on overlays that are less than 10 years old.

The papers presented in this publication cover various types of overlays, including thin overlays, polymer concrete overlays, epoxy concrete overlays, and sulfur concrete overlays. The purpose of sharing these case studies and research findings is to provide knowledge and insights into the performance of different types of polymer concrete overlays on infrastructure such as bridge decks, highways, and parking garages.

The table of contents of this standard includes a preface, a list of papers, and an index. The papers cover topics such as the performance of epoxy polymer concrete bridge deck overlays, the performance of thin methyl-methacrylate polymer concrete overlays in parking garages, the performance of polymer concrete overlays on bridges, and the use of sulfur concrete overlays for hydraulic concrete applications. Other topics include the performance of thin-bonded polymer concrete overlays for bridge deck protection and maintenance, the performance of overlays in Fort Worth, Texas, and the abrasion characteristics of MMA resin mortar overlays in cold environments.
