Guide to Sealing Joints in Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
ACI 504R-90 (R1997) is a standard titled "Guide to Sealing Joints in Concrete Structures." The purpose of this standard is to provide clear and comprehensive guidance on the properties and usage of joint sealants in concrete structures. It aims to enhance the understanding of the function of joint sealants, their required properties, and the available materials.
The standard describes and illustrates the various aspects related to joint sealants in concrete structures. It explains the function of joint sealants and their importance in ensuring the durability and performance of the structures. It also provides information on the properties that joint sealants should possess, such as elasticity, adhesion, weather resistance, and compatibility with the substrate.
Additionally, the standard discusses the different types of materials that can be used as joint sealants, including sealants based on silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, and acrylic. It provides guidance on the selection of the appropriate sealant material based on the specific application, considering factors such as joint movement, exposure conditions, and compatibility with the surrounding materials.
