ACI 548.10M-10 PDF Download

ACI 548.10M-10 is a standard specification for Type MMS (Methyl Methacrylate Slurry) polymer overlays for bridge and parking garage decks. This standard provides guidelines and requirements for the selection, design, and construction of concrete overlays for the rehabilitation of both concrete and asphalt pavements. It covers various overlay categories, including bonded concrete overlays, unbonded concrete overlays, whitetopping overlays, and concrete overlays bonded to asphalt (ultra-thin and thin whitetopping).

The standard emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate overlay alternatives based on specific project requirements. It includes information on the use of MMS polymer overlays, which are a type of polymer-modified concrete overlay system. These overlays offer enhanced performance and durability, particularly in bridge and parking garage deck applications.

ACI 548.10M-10 is based on a synthesis report prepared for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. The report, titled "Portland Cement Concrete Overlays: State of the Technology Synthesis," provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of technology in concrete overlays. It is available from the FHWA as publication FHWA-IF-02-045.
