1042. 1 1042. 2(f)

1042.1DESCRIPTION —This work is construction of a latex modified mortar or concrete wearing surface

on bridge decks , approach slabs or indicated surfaces . The indicated or specified depth of the wearing surface is the minimum.

1042.2MATERIAL —

(a)Cement. Type I, IP, IS, or II (MH) , Section 701.1.
(b)Fine Aggregate. Type A, Section 703.1.
(c)Coarse Aggregate. Type A, No. 8, Section 703.2.
(d)Water. Section 720.1
(e)Latex Emulsion Admixture. Section 711.3(e)
(f)Latex Modified Mortar (LMM) or Concrete (LMC ) Mix Design. Use latex modified mortar for depths

less than 1 1/4 inches. Use latex modified concrete when the depth is 1 1/4 inches or more. Provide a concrete technician as specified in Section 704.1(d)2. Provide testing facilities and equipment as specified in Section 704.1(d)3. The term “latex,” as used in this Section, refers to latex modified mortar or concrete, unless otherwise specified. Provide latex conforming to the following requirements:

(1)Discharge the sample from the mixer and transport it to a point unaffected by vibration. Deposit the

sample on the deck in a suitable container and do not disturb for five minutes. Then, remix the sample and perform the slump test according to AASHTO T 11 9.

(2)Dry basis, Aggregate Specific Gravity = 2.65. The dry weight ratios are approximate and should

produce good workability, but because of gradation changes, the ratios may be adjusted within limits by the Representative.

(3)Cure specimens according to PTM No. 611, Section 12.2, except strip after the first 48 hours (± 2

hours), and air cure as specified in Section 1042.3(d) Table A.
