ACI 548.14-14 is a standard specification that outlines the procedure for repairing concrete using epoxy mortar. The standard provides detailed instructions and guidelines for the entire repair process, from the storage and labeling of epoxy resin systems to the final inspection and testing.

The specification emphasizes the importance of evaluating and preparing the concrete surface before applying the epoxy mortar. It sets specific requirements for surface cleanliness and roughness to ensure proper adhesion of the repair material. Additionally, the standard provides instructions on the mixing and application of the epoxy mortar, including the use of primer and specified application thickness.

Quality control and inspection play a crucial role in adhering to this standard. The specification outlines the necessary qualifications and training for personnel involved in the repair process. It also specifies the frequency and type of inspections required during different stages of repair.

In order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the repair, testing procedures are also included in the standard. This includes testing the epoxy resin system for properties such as viscosity, density, and tensile strength, as well as conducting adhesion tests on the repaired areas.
