The fabric is white and is impregnated in the field using QuakeBond™ J300SR Saturating Resin to form a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) used to strengthen structural elements. The fabric weighs 20 oz/yd2 (677 g/m2). USE ¾ Increased live load capacity in buildings and bridges, hospital floors, roofs of buildings, etc. ¾ Seismic retrofit of structural elements such as columns, unreinforced masonry walls, etc. ¾ Repair of large diameter pipes to achieve strengthening and water-proofing ¾ Repair of damaged structural components caused by aggressive environments, fire, vehicle impact, aging, etc. ¾ Changes in structural system: new openings in floors, removal of existing walls, etc. ¾ Correction of design or construction errors: misplaced reinforcing bars, insufficient structural depth ADVANTAGES ¾ Strong and lightweight fabric ideal for confined spaces. ¾ Used for flexure and shear strengthening as well as confinement. ¾ Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeBond™ resins. ¾ Non-corrosive. ¾ Versatile; can be wrapped around complex shapes. ¾ Light weight; does not alter mass & dynamic loads on structure. ¾ Special manufacturing of the fabric makes it very stable & prevents fraying. PACKAGING Rolls: 50 in. X 50 yards (1.27 m X 45 m) or 25 in. X 100 yards (635 mm X 90 m) or 12 in. X 100 yards (305 mm X 90 m). The fabric can be easily cut in the field to various lengths. SHELF LIFE Unlimited shelf life in proper storage conditions. STORAGE CONDITIONS Store in dry place at 45°-95° F (7°-35° C). APPLICATION Surface must be clean and sound; it may be dry or damp, but must be free of standing water and frost. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, disintegrated materials and other bond inhibiting materials from the surface. Existing uneven surfaces must be filled with an appropriate repair mortar. The adhesive strength of the substrate must be verified after surface preparation by random pull-off testing (ACI 503R) at the discretion of the engineer. Minimum tensile strength of 200 psi (1.4 MPa) with substrate failure is required. Blast clean, shot-blast, scarify or use other approved mechanical means to clean the substrate surface. Any sharp edges (i.e. fins, form-marks, etc.) must be ground smooth and flush. Sharp edges must be rounded to a minimum radius of ¾ in. (19 mm). Apply QuakeBond™ J200TC onto the substrate with a trowel or spatula to a nominal thickness of 40 mil (1 mm). A notched trowel may be used for this application. Saturate QuakeWrap™ VU20G fabric thoroughly with QuakeBond™ J300SR; for more details, refer to the Product Data Sheet for J300SR. Before the epoxies harden, apply saturated fabric to the substrate surface that has been coated with J200TC. Using gloved hands, carefully remove any entrapped air bubbles under the fabric; a plastic laminating roller can be used for this purpose. If required, additional layers of saturated fabric can be directly applied on top of previous layers. Feather the edges of the fabric with QuakeBond™ J200TC. Installation of QuakeWrap™ fabrics must be performed only by specially trained and approved contractors. Fabric can be cut to appropriate length using a commercial quality heavy duty scissor. Since dull or worn cutting tools can damage, weaken or fray the fiber, their use should be avoided. LIMITATIONS Design calculations must be made and certified by an independent licensed professional engineer. System is a vapor barrier. Concrete should not be encapsulated in areas of freeze/thaw. CAUTION QuakeWrap™ VU20G is non-reactive. However, caution must be used when handling since a fine glass dust may be present on the surface. Gloves must therefore be worn to protect against skin irritation. Caution must also be used when cutting the fabric to protect against airborne glass dust generated by the cutting procedure. Use of an appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator is recommended. * Results based on tests of two plies of fabrics saturated with J300SR.

The fabric weighs 23 oz/yd2 (779 g/m2) and the fibers are primarily in the longitudinal (0°) direction. USE ¾ Increased live load capacity in buildings and bridges, hospital floors, roofs of buildings, etc. ¾ Seismic retrofit of structural elements such as columns, unreinforced masonry walls, etc. ¾ Repair of large diameter pipes to achieve strengthening and water-proofing ¾ Repair of damaged structural components caused by aggressive environments, fire, vehicle impact, aging, etc. ¾ Changes in structural system: new openings in floors, removal of existing walls, etc. ¾ Correction of design or construction errors: misplaced reinforcing bars, insufficient structural depth ADVANTAGES ¾ Very strong and lightweight fabric ideal for confined spaces. ¾ Used for flexure and shear strengthening as well as confinement. ¾ Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeBond™ resins. ¾ Non-corrosive. ¾ Versatile; can be wrapped around complex shapes. ¾ Light weight does not alter mass & dynamic loads on structure. ¾ Alkali resistant. ¾ Special manufacturing of the fabric makes it very stable & prevents fraying. PACKAGING Rolls: 50 in. X 50 yards (1.27 m X 45 m). The fabric can be easily cut in the field to various lengths. SHELF LIFE Unlimited shelf life in proper storage conditions. STORAGE CONDITIONS Store in dry place at 45°-95° F (7°-35° C). APPLICATION Surface must be clean and sound; it may be dry or damp but must be free of standing water and frost. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, disintegrated materials and other bond inhibiting materials from the surface. Existing uneven surfaces must be filled with an appropriate repair mortar. The adhesive strength of the substrate must be verified after surface preparation by random pull-off testing (ACI 503R) at the discretion of the engineer. Minimum tensile strength of 200 psi (1.4 MPa) with substrate failure is required. Blast clean, shot-blast, scarify or use other approved mechanical means to clean the substrate surface. Any sharp edges (i.e. fins, form-marks, etc.) must be ground smooth and flush. Sharp edges must be rounded to a minimum radius of ¾ in. (19 mm). Apply QuakeBond™ J200TC onto the substrate with a trowel or spatula to a nominal thickness of 40 mil (1 mm). A notched trowel may be used for this application. Saturate QuakeWrap™ TB20C fabric thoroughly with QuakeBond™ J300SR; for more details, refer to the Product Data Sheet for J300SR. Before the epoxies harden, apply saturated fabric to the substrate surface that has been coated with J200TC. Using gloved hands, carefully remove any entrapped air bubbles under the fabric; a plastic laminating roller can be used for this purpose. If required, additional layers of saturated fabric can be directly applied on top of previous layers. Feather the edges of the fabric with QuakeBond™ J200TC. Installation of QuakeWrap™ fabrics must be performed only by specially trained and approved contractors. Fabric can be cut to appropriate length using a commercial quality heavy duty scissor. Since dull or worn cutting tools can damage, weaken or fray the fiber, their use should be avoided. LIMITATIONS Design calculations must be made and certified by an independent licensed professional engineer. System is a vapor barrier. Concrete should not be encapsulated in areas of freeze/thaw. CAUTION QuakeWrap™ TB20C is non-reactive. However, caution must be used when handling since a fine carbon dust may be present on the surface. Gloves must therefore be worn to protect against skin irritation. Caution must also be used when cutting the fabric to protect against airborne carbon dust generated by the cutting procedure. Use of an appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator is recommended. * Results based on tests of two plies of fabrics saturated with J300SR.

The low viscosity and long pot life, with fast cure time is designed for high volume saturating of heavy reinforcement fabrics using our impregnator machine. Combined with carbon or glass reinforcement, J300SR Saturating Resin produces fiber composite laminates with exceptional strength, durability and chemical resistance. The convenient color-coded components and the 2:1 volumetric mix ratio is user friendly. QuakeBond™ J300SR is a 100% solids formulation with low toxicity and low odor during cure. USE ¾ Saturating carbon and glass fabrics for structural retrofit applications. ¾ Adhesive for bonding external reinforcement to concrete, masonry & wood. ¾ A moisture barrier (water-proofing) system in conjunction with QuakeWrap™ carbon or glass fabrics. ¾ As a binder for epoxy mortar repairs. ADVANTAGES ¾ Long pot life. ¾ High strength, high modulus, low-viscosity structural adhesive. ¾ Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeWrap™ carbon and glass fabrics. ¾ Convenient easy mix ratio, 2:1 by volume. ¾ 100% solvent free. ¾ Color coded components (pigmented syrup & amber liquid) to ensure proper mixing control. ¾ Nearly odor-free. ¾ Low toxicity during cure. COVERAGE Applied as a saturating resin to a fabric with a density of 24 oz/yd2 (813 gram /m2) achieves a yield of 75 square feet per gallon (0.55 liter per square meter). Yield varies slightly for different fabric densities. PACKAGING Each of the components is supplied in 55-gallon (208L) drums or 5-gallon (19L) containers, resulting in 165-gallon or 15-gallon kits. Ships DOT non-regulated. MIXING Proportion 2 parts component “A” to 1 part component “B” by volume into a clean container. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes using a paddle at low speed (400-600 rpm) drill until uniform color is achieved. Mix only the quantities that can be used within pot life. DO NOT THIN; solvents will prevent proper cure. SHELF LIFE Two years in original, unopened and properly stored containers. STORAGE CONDITIONS Store in dry place at 45°-100° F (7°-38° C). CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE ¾ Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) will be supplied upon request and is included with each shipment. ¾ Possesses 0% volatile content per EPA Test Method 24. APPLICATION Use QuakeBond™ J300SR in conjunction with our saturating machines to impregnate carbon or glass fabrics (wet lay-up process); please contact us for detailed information on operation of saturating machines. For smaller projects, the fabrics may be saturated by hand; pour mixed J300SR onto the fabric and use a trowel or spatula to spread the resin into the fabric; it may be necessary to turn the fabric over and repeat this process, ensuring that the fabric is thoroughly saturated. Use a squeegee to remove excess resin from the fabric before installing the fabric on the structural element. Once the saturated fabric is installed, remove all entrapped air bubbles with gloved hands; a plastic laminating roller can be used as well. Do not disturb installed saturated fabric for 24 hours. LIMITATIONS Minimum application temperature of the epoxy is 40° F (4°C). DO NOT THIN this epoxy with solvents. FIRST AID In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. For eye contact, flush immediately. For respiratory problems, remove to fresh air. Wash clothing before reuse. Consult MSDS for detailed information. CLEANUP Collect with absorbent material, flush with water. Dispose of in accordance with local disposal regulations. Uncured materials can be removed with approved solvent. Cured materials can only be removed mechanically.

The repair material shall be cured a minimum of 7 days before installing the FRP system unless its curing and strength are verified by tests. 7.1.4 Surface Preparation All necessary repair and restoration of a concrete section shall be approved by the Engineer prior to surface preparation. In these specifications, contact-critical applications are treated in the same way as bond-critical applications. An adhesive bond with adequate strength shall always be QuakeWrap Specification Page 11 of 18 provided between FRP and concrete. Surface preparation shall also promote continuous intimate contact between FRP and concrete by providing a clean, smooth, and flat or convex surface. Surface preparation for FRP shell systems where grout is pumped into the gap between the shell and the existing column surface is specified in Section 7.1.9. All surface preparations shall be approved by the Engineer before installing the FRP system. 7.1.5 Surface Grinding All irregularities, unevenness, and sharp protrusions in the surface profile shall be ground away to a smooth surface with less than 1/32 in. deviation.

Newly repaired or patched surfaces that have not cured a minimum of 7 days shall be coated with a water-based epoxy paint or other approved sealers. 7.2 Installation of CFRP System This section specifies general installation procedures for the wet lay-up CFRP and GFRP systems. QuakeWrap Specification Page 12 of 18 7.2.1 Environmental Conditions Environmental conditions for installation shall be examined before and during installation of the FRP system to ensure conformity to the contract documents and manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not apply primers, putty, saturating resins, or adhesives on cold, frozen, damp, or wet surfaces. Ambient and concrete surface temperatures shall be within 50-95 degrees F. Moisture level on all contact surfaces shall be less than 10 percent at the time of installation of the FRP system, as evaluated according to ACI 503R-93. Moisture restrictions may be waived for resins that have been formulated for wet applications. 7.2.2 Moisture Vapor Transmission Application of bonded FRP systems shall not proceed if any moisture vapor transmission is present. Concrete dryness is necessary when using elevated temperature cure. Any bubble that develops from moisture vapor transmission can effectively be injected with the same adhesive material used for the FRP system following the procedure specified in Section 9.2. 7.2.3 Applications in Inclement Weather When inclement weather does not allow installation of the FRP system, as specified in Section 7.2.1, auxiliary measures may be employed to correct the conditions. An auxiliary heat source may be used in cold weather to raise the ambient and concrete surface temperatures to acceptable levels, as recommended by the manufacturer, but not higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg). Pressurized air may be used to dry the surface dampness. 7.3 Equipment The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment in sufficient quantities and in clean operating conditions for continuous uninterrupted FRP installation. 7.4 Applications of Wet Lay-Up CFRP or GFRP Systems This section specifies the necessary measures for installing wet lay-up systems using dry fiber sheets and saturants. 7.4.1 Mixing of Resin Components All resin components, including the main agent and hardener, shall be mixed at the proper temperature using the appropriate weight ratio and for a duration specified by the manufacturer until thorough mixing with uniform color and consistency is achieved. Resins shall not be diluted with any organic solvents such as thinner. Manual stirring and small electrically powered mixing blades are allowed. Resin shall be mixed in quantities sufficiently small to ensure that it can be used within its pot life. Any mixed resin that exceeds its pot life or begins to generate heat or show signs of increased viscosity shall not be used and shall be disposed of according to Section 5.4. Mixing of some resins may be accompanied by noxious fumes. Precautions must be taken, as specified in Section 5.2.1, regarding the resin’s impact on the environment, including emission of volatile organic compounds and toxicology. 7.4.2 Primer and Putty When necessary, apply one or two coats of primer on the concrete surface to penetrate its open pores. Ambient and concrete surface temperatures must be within the range specified in Section QuakeWrap Specification Page 13 of 18 7.2.1. The putty shall be applied as soon as the primer becomes tack free or is not sticky to the fingers. The putty shall be applied within 7 days after primer application; otherwise, the primer-coated surface shall be roughened with sandpaper or a similar tool. The resulting surface shall be cleaned according to Section 7.1.9. before applying the putty. Apply 40-mil thick coat of putty in one layer, and smooth over the surface to fill in any small voids, cracks, or uneven areas. Any swelling on the surface after applying the putty shall be corrected to meet surface profile as specified in Section 7.1.8. The surfaces of primer and putty shall be protected from dust, moisture, and any other contaminants before applying the FRP. 7.4.3 Saturant The saturant shall have sufficiently low viscosity to ensure full impregnation of the fiber sheets prior to curing. To maintain proper viscosity of the saturant, the ambient and concrete surface temperatures must be within the range specified in Section 7.2.1. Any mixed saturant that exceeds its pot life shall be disposed of according to Section 5.4. 7.4.4 Applying Fiber Sheet and Saturant The fabric will be uniformly saturated with the saturant using the Saturating Machine. The fabric will be cut to the length specified in the contract documents and shall be installed in place and gently pressed onto the wet putty. Any entrapped air between the fiber sheet and the concrete surface shall be released or rolled across the sheet in the direction parallel to the fibers while allowing the resin to impregnate the fibers and achieve intimate contact with the substrate. Rolling perpendicular to the fiber direction is not allowed. In bi-directional fabrics, rolling shall be initially in the fill direction end to end and then in the warp direction. Subsequent layers of fabric (if called for in the design) shall be properly saturated with saturant and applied on top of the first sheet of fabric with no interruption. 7.4.5 Multiple-Fiber Plies In multiple-ply installations, subsequent layers of fabric (if called for in the design) shall be properly saturated with saturant and applied on top of the first sheet of fabric with no interruption. The amount of resin overcoat for intermediate plies is approximately 15-20 percent greater than a single-ply installation because the saturant serves as overcoat for the applied ply and undercoat for the next ply. Follow the contract documents for the fiber orientation and ply stacking sequence. Each ply shall be applied before the onset of complete gelation of the previous layer. The number of plies that can be applied in a single day shall be based on the manufacturer’s recommendation and the approval of the Engineer. Multiple plies can also be applied in several days. When previous layers are cured, interlayer surface preparation, such as light sanding and filling with putty, my be required, as specified in Section 7.4.2. 7.4.6 Overlapping A lap joint shall be constructed when an interruption occurs in the direction of the fibers. The length of the lap splice shall be as specified by the contract documents, but must be at least 12 in. Staggering of lap splices on multiple plies and adjacent strips shall be required unless permitted by contract documents. No lap joint is necessary in the transverse direction unless specified in the contract documents. QuakeWrap Specification Page 14 of 18 7.4.7 Alignment of FRP Materials The fiber plies shall be aligned on the structural member according to the contract documents. Any deviation in the alignment more than 5 degrees (approximately 1 in./ft) is not acceptable, as specified in Section 8.3. Once installed, the fibers shall be free of kinks, folds, and waviness. 7.5 Application of Pre-Cured Carbon Strips Surface preparation for installation of pre-cured carbon strips, such as QuakeWrap™ DU50C, shall follow the same procedure outlined in Sections 7.1 and 7.2. The bonding surface of the carbon plate shall be cleaned by wiping the plate with clean cloth and solvent. Allow the cleaned plates to dry in air and prevent them from contamination. Apply a 30-mil thick layer of putty directly onto the concrete surface where it is to receive the carbon plate. Apply a 30-mil thick layer of putty on one side of the carbon plate and spread it to a uniform thickness. Affix the plate to the concrete, starting from one end and gradually progressing towards the other end, pressing the carbon plate in position. Apply uniform pressure on the top surface of the plate from one end to the other to remove any air bubbles getting trapped under the plate. 7.6 Curing The FRP system shall be allowed to cure for seventy tow (72) hours before full loads are applied. Field modification of resin chemistry for rapid curing is not allowed. Elevated cure temperature may be used, as specified in Section7.2.3, if rapid curing is necessary. Cure of installed plies shall be monitored before placing subsequent plies. In case of any curing irregularity, installation of subsequent plies shall be halted. Unless otherwise noted in the contract documents and approved by the Engineer, the full load shall not be applied until curing is complete. Protect the FRP system while curing, as specified in Section 7.8. 7.7 Protective Coating and Finishing The protective coating system shall be applied only to the FRP repair material installed on the exterior surface of the webs. 7.7.1 Protective Coating and Finishing When required, the coating shall be a non-vapor-barrier, flexible, waterproof, U-V-resistant and compatible with the FRP system. The coating may be a polymer-modified Portland cement coating or polymer-based latex coating. The mortar finish shall be made with silicate sand between sieves No. 40 (1/64 in.) and No. 6 (1/8 in.) and spread over the FRP system before the resin hardens. Appropriate methods shall be used for vertical or overhead work. The thickness of the coating shall be specified per the coating manufacturer’s instructions. Final appearance is closely match the color and texture of the adjacent concrete. For each protective coating system submitted by the Contractor, he shall supply three (3) samples of the FRP material finished as it will be installed in the field and coated with the recommended coating system for acceptance by the Engineer. The samples shall be approved by the Engineer prior to the start of repairs. 7.7.2 Protective Coating Field Application Surface preparation shall be as recommended by the manufacturer. Solvent wipes shall not be used to clean the FRP surface unless approved by the FRP manufacturer. If abrasive cleaning is necessary, air pressure shall be limited to avoid any damage to fibers. Ambient and surface temperatures shall be within the range specified in Section 7.2.1, prior to applying the protective QuakeWrap Specification Page 15 of 18 coating. Do not apply the coating when surface moisture is present or when rainfall or condensation is anticipated. 7.7.3 Temporary Protection Temporary protection shall be installed on the exterior web surface to protect the installed FRP system against rain, dust, dirt, excessive sunlight, extreme temperatures and high humidity until the resin has fully cured, as approved by the Engineer 8 INSPECTION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE A specific QA plan shall be developed from the tests identified in this section. All inspection sand tests in this section will be performed by a trained inspector acting on behalf of the Department for QA of the project in the presence of the Contractor and the Engineer. The Contractor may have its own inspector for QC. 8.1 Inspection of Materials The manufacturer’s certifications for all delivered and stored FRP components will be inspected for conformity to the contract documents before starting the project. Materials testing will be conducted on samples of pre-cured FRP or witness panels of wet lay-ups, if specified in the contract documents. Any material that does not meet the requirements of the contract documents will be rejected. Additional witness panels may be taken during the installation process if specified in the contract documents. 8.2 Daily Inspection Daily inspection will include date and time of repair; ambient and concrete surface temperatures; relative humidity; general weather conditions; surface dryness per ACI 503.4; surface preparation and surface profile using ICRI surface profile chips; qualitative description of surface cleanliness; type of auxiliary heat source, if any; widths of cracks not injected with epoxy; fiber or procured laminate batch numbers and their locations in the structure; batch numbers, mixture ratios, mixing times, and qualitative descriptions of the appearance of all mixed resins, primers, putties, saturants, adhesives, and coatings; observations of the progress of the cure of resins; conformance with installation procedures; adhesion test results of bond strength, failure mode, and location; FRP properties from tests of field sample panels or witness panels, if required; location and size of any delaminations or air voids; and the general progress of work. 8.3 Inspection for Fiber Orientation Fiber or ply orientation, fiber kinks, and waviness will be examined by visual inspection for conformity to the contract documents. Tolerances will follow Installation of CFRP System (7.4.7). Nonconforming FRP area will be removed and required as per Repair of Defective Work (9.4). 8.4 Inspection for Debonding After at least 24 hours for the initial curing of the resin, a visual inspection of the surface will be performed for any swelling, bubbles, voids, or delaminations. If an air pocket is suspected, an acoustic tap test will be carried out with a hard object to identify delaminated areas by sound, with at least one strike per 1 ft2. Defects smaller than ¼ in. in diameter will require no corrective QuakeWrap Specification Page 16 of 18 action, unless as specified in Section 9.2. Defects larger than ¼ in. but smaller than 1 ¼ in. in diameter will be repaired as per Section 9.2. Defects larger than 1 ¼ in. but smaller than 6 in. in diameter, and with a frequency of less than 5 per any unit surface area of 10-ft length or width, will be repaired as per Section 9.3. Larger defects will be repaired as per Section 9.4. 8.5 Inspection for Cure of Resin If specified in the contract documents, the relative cure of resin in FRP systems will be examined by visual inspection or by laboratory testing of witness panels or resin-cup samples using ASTM D3418. Follow recommendations of the resin manufacturer for acceptance criteria. If the cure of resin is found unacceptable, the entire area will be marked and repaired as per Section 9.4. 8.6 Inspection for Adhesion After at least 24 hours for the initial cure of the resin and before applying the protective coating, a direct pull-off test will be performed following ASTM D4541 to verify tensile bond between the FRP system and the concrete. Test locations and sampling frequency are as specified in the contract documents or as recommended by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. At a minimum, three pull-off tests with at least one test per span or one test per 1,000 ft2 of the FRP system, and one test per substrate concrete type, will be performed. Inspect the failure surface of the core specimen to ensure that the failure surface is by cohesive failure within concrete. Failure at the bond line at tensile stresses below 200 psi is unacceptable. If one or more of the pull-off tests is found unacceptable, the work will be rejected and repair will follow Section 9.4. Repair cored areas as per Section 9.3. 8.7 Inspection for Cured Thickness Core samples ½-in. diameter will be taken to inspect the cured laminate thickness and the number of plies. Sampling frequency will be as specified in the contract documents. Repair cored areas as per Section 9.3. The FRP system will not be accessible if the number of plies is less than that specified in the contract documents or if the cured thickness of the FRP system is less than that specified in the contract documents by more than 1/32 in. The entire area of the FRP system that is marked unacceptable will be repaired as per Section 9.4. 8.8 Tests Tests on witness panels will be carried out. The most common is the tensile test following ASTM D 3039 on at least five witness panels for each type of FRP system to measure strength, elastic modulus, and ultimate strain. The measured thickness of the FRP laminate will also be recorded. The FRP system will be unacceptable if the average tensile strength and the lowest tensile strength are more than 5% and 10% below that specified in the contract documents, respectively. 9 REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE WORK This section specifies the conditions and types of defects that require repair and the acceptable methods of repair. Defects are of different types and may be generally classified as aesthetic, short-term critical, or long-term critical. Repair procedure depends on the type, size, and extent of defects. Repair procedures for any conditions not addressed in these specifications or in the contract documents shall be submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer prior to proceeding with the work. QuakeWrap Specification Page 17 of 18 9.1 Repair of Protective Coating Defects in protective coating can be of three types: small hairline cracks, blistering, and peeling. In all cases, moisture content of the substrate should be below 0.05% before applying a new coating. Prior to any repair of protective coating, the FRP system shall be examined visually or otherwise to ensure that no defect exists within or on the surface of the FRP. Defects in FRP, if found, shall be repaired as per Section 9.3 & 9.4. If protective coating appears to show small areas with cracks, the local surface shall be lightly sanded. Then, a new coating with appropriate primer shall e applied according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. At the minimum, the coating shall be applied over an area extending 1 in. on either side of the defect. If the protective coating shows signs of blistering, the entire area of blisters as well as the surrounding area to a distance of at least 12 in. shall be carefully scraped clean. In no case should a blistered surface be recoated without complete removal of the existing coating. The area shall be wiped clean and then dried thoroughly. Once dry, the area can be recoated after application of the primer coat if required by the manufacturer. If the surface shows signs of excessive peeling, the entire coating shall be scraped off and the surface lightly sanded, wiped clean, and thoroughly dried before applying a new coat according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. 9.2 Epoxy Injection of Small Defects Small entrapped voids or surface discontinuities no larger than ¼ in. in diameter shall not be considered defects and require no corrective action unless they occur next to edges or when there are more than five such defects in an area of 10 ft2. Small defects of size between ¼ and 1 ¼ in. in diameter shall be repaired using low-pressure epoxy injection as long as the defect is local and does not extend through the complete thickness of the laminate in case of multiple-ply FRP systems. If any delaminations growth is suspected between the FRP plies due to injection, the procedure shall be halted, and repair shall follow Section 9.3. 9.3 Patching of Minor Damage Minor defects are those with diameters between 1 ¼ and 6 in. and a frequency of less than five per any unit surface area of 10-ft length or width. The area surrounding the defects to an extent of at least 1 in. on all sides shall be carefully removed. The area shall be wiped clean and thoroughly dried. The area shall then be patched by adding an FRP path of the same type as original laminate and extending at least 1 in. on all sides of the removed area. Repair can also be conducting using the procedure in Section 9.4. 9.4 Replacement of Large Defects Defects larger than 6 in. in diameter shall be carefully marked and scarfed out extending to a minimum of 1 in. on all sides. Scarfing shall be progressing through the layers in the case of multiple-ply FRP systems until past the defective area. In case the defect extends to the first FRP ply adjacent to the concrete, the entire thickness of the FRP and primer shall be removed. The substrate shall be approximately prepared and primer reapplied after ensuring that the surface and FRP are clean and dry. Application of a new FRP system within the scarfed area shall follow procedures for the original FRP system, except that an additional layer extending a minimum of 6 in. on all sides of the scarfed area shall be added as a patch. Once cured, the protective coating shall be applied over the entire area.

The advantages of the saturator equipment are as follows: ¾ The speed of construction is significantly improved; ¾ The fabric is uniformly saturated with the same amount of resin, producing uniform fabric/resin content ratio; ¾ The ratio of the resin to fabric (i.e. resin content) can be controlled and set at a constant rate for each job; ¾ The design of the equipment is such that it forces the resin into the fabric, ensuring full saturation; ¾ There will be no excess resin on the saturated fabric that would result in dripping and non-uniform finish; ¾ The equipment is shipped in a container on casters and can be easily assembled in the field. In the following pages, the instructions for assembly and operation as well as how to set the adjustment for the desired level of resin content are provided. Instructions for Saturator machine Page 1 of 3 REV. DATE: 05/02/2005 QuakeWrap, Inc. INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION OF SATURATOR MACHINE ASSEMBLY: 1. Remove the top portion of the frame [1] which during shipment is placed in the drip-tray [2]. 2. Place the top portion of the frame [1] as shown and line up and tighten the four bolts [3]. 3. Insert the end of the take-up reel [4] onto the fittings and engage the pin [5] to secure the take-up reel. 4. Insert and secure the lever [6] with the provided bolt. 5. The above steps can be followed in reverse order to disassemble the machine. In addition, to keep the wheels straight, the two bars [7] must be attached as shown before placing the machine in the container. Instructions for Saturator machine Page 2 of 3 REV. DATE: 05/02/2005 QuakeWrap, Inc. OPERATION: 1. Place the fabric roll onto the feed reel and engage the cones [8] to secure the fabric. Note that the cones must be placed in a loose position to allow rotation of the fabric roll. 2. Pass the fabric over the two rollers [9] and under the counter [10] in through the gap between the two main cylinders [11]. Turn the lever [6] to pull the fabric in between the two main cylinders. Adjust the gap between the two main cylinders [11] using the two turn-screws [12] on both ends of the machine so that the fabric cannot freely slide between the two main cylinders. 3. Place a plastic sheet or tarp above the drip-tray [2] to catch spilled epoxy. 4. Place the Teflon dams [13] on both ends of the fabric by squeezing the spring-loaded bars attached to the Teflon dams and anchoring them under the center bar [14]. This will prevent the unnecessary spread of the epoxy. Note that the dam faces in the right direction so that its bottom surface is in full contact with both cylinders. 5. Pour the epoxy in the trough between the two main cylinders [11] and turn the lever [6] to pull the fabric in between the two main cylinders. 6. Grab the end of the fabric and wrap it around the take-up reel [4]. If the fabric end is not fully saturated, add a small amount of epoxy to it to help it grip the take-up reel. 7. Turn the lever [6] until the fabric is fully wrapped around the take-up reel [4]. 8. If necessary, adjust the gap between the two main cylinders [11] using the two turn-screws [12] to achieve full fabric saturation without excessive epoxy on the fabric. 9. Turn the lever [6] until the desired length of fabric is saturated. Note: you can measure the length of the fabric that has been saturated with the counter [10]. 10. Cut the fabric with a pair of scissors. 11. Remove the take-up reel [4] with the saturated fabric wrapped around it and carry it to the job site where the fabric can be unrolled. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is very important that the excess epoxy does not remain on any part of the machine for more than half an hour. It would be extremely difficult to remove the cured epoxy from the machine. If the machine is to be idle for periods more than half an hour, it should be completely cleaned before any epoxy can harden on the machine. The cleaning can be accomplished by applying generous amount of acetone and wiping with a rag. If at anytime you notice accumulation of old epoxy (more than half an hour old), the epoxy must be removed and the affected part of the machine cleaned before the continuation of the operation. In addition, common sense must be used at all times to make sure that the machine will remain clean and operational. Instructions for Saturator machine Page 3 of 3 REV. DATE: 05/02/2005 QuakeWrap, Inc. PROCEDURE FOR SETTING THE GAP SIZE The size of the gap between the two main cylinders [11] directly affects the resin content of the saturated fabric. In order to achieve a resin content of 50% by volume, the following procedure should be carried out. 1. Start with a gap size approximately equal to the thickness of the dry fabric. 2. Select a piece of a fabric approximately 1-foot wide by 3-foot long and measure its dry weight in grams. 3. Saturate the fabric by running it through the saturator machine. 4. Measure the weight of the saturated fabric in grams. A small portable scale covered with a thin sheet of protective plastic can be used for this purpose. 5. Subtract the weight of the dry fabric from that of the saturated fabric. The result will be the weight of the resin in the composite. 6. Divide weight of dry fabric by 1.80; call this number VF 7. Divide weight of resin by 1.13; call this number VR 8. The objective is to get these two values (i.e. VF and VR) as close as possible. 9. Take the difference between these two numbers and divide it by the sum of the two numbers. Multiply the result by 100 to obtain the percentage error. The percentage error should be less than 5. If not, continue with the following step. 10. If VF is greater than VR, increase the size of the gap. Otherwise, reduce the gap size and repeat the above steps 1 through 9 until the percentage error is less than 5. Filename: Saturator Instructions
