ACI SPEC-548.13-21 (IN-LB) PDF Download

ACI SPEC-548.13-21 (IN-LB) is a standard that specifically addresses the use of multi-component epoxy adhesive for bonding to concrete. The specification covers the bonding of various materials such as fresh and hardened concrete, as well as steel, to hardened concrete surfaces. The adhesive used must meet the requirements set forth in ASTM C881/C881M for this specific application.

The standard includes detailed guidelines and controls for various aspects of the adhesive bonding process. These include requirements for adhesive labeling, storage, handling, surface evaluation, and preparation. The standard also covers procedures for mixing and application of the adhesive, as well as inspection, safety measures, quality control, and testing protocols.

The objective of this specification is to ensure proper and effective bonding between different materials and concrete surfaces using multi-component epoxy adhesive. Adhering to the guidelines outlined in this standard will help ensure the successful implementation of adhesive bonding projects, promoting durability, structural integrity, and safety.
