3.Defects (performance failures) include:
a.Re-settling of treated areas beyond ⅛ inch of finished grade
profile
4.The guarantee covers 100 percent of the concrete slab jacking
costs.
5.Replace by re-injection or slab replacement any material that fails
during the warranty period.
1.8PAYMENT PROCEDURES
A.Liquid quantities of non-shrink grout measured using a calibrated meter
paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard.
B.Liquid quantities of High-Density Polyurethane measured using methods
approved by Engineer paid for at the contract unit price per pound.
PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1HIGH DENSITY POLYURETHANE
A.Use water based formulation of expanding high-density polyurethane that
sets to full compressive strength within 15 minutes after injection to raise slabs.
Table 1 High-Density Polyurethane PROPERTY ASTM LIMITS Density D 1622 Min 3.8 lb/ft3 - Max 4.3 lb/ft3 Tensile Strength D 790* Min. 80 psi Elongation N/A Max. 5.1% Compressive Strength at Yield D 1621 Min. 60 psi Point *Use the value of flexural strength or flexural yield as tensile strength.
2.2NON-SHRINK GROUT
A.Use packaged dry, hydraulic-cement grout (non-shrink) according to
ASTM C 1107.
2.3EQUIPMENT
A.Equipment capable of supplying a homogenous product at the appropriate
rate.
Concrete Slab Jacking
B.Certified scales or measuring devices to measure delivered product and to
proportion product components.
C.Concrete drill or saw capable of producing circular holes of adequate size
for the application type.
D.Elevation measuring devices with an accuracy of ⅛ inch.
E.Concrete saw capable of cutting joints between failed and non-failed
slabs.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1PREPARATION
A.Establish a finish target profile of pavement using elevation measuring
device or string lines.
B.Saw cut joints between failed and non-failed slabs as necessary to
prevent damage to non-failed slabs. Refer to Section 02705.
3.2INSTALLATION
A.Drill holes as necessary in roadway slab.
B.Inject product to evenly raise slab to finished grade profile.
C.Fill injection holes with at least 4 inches of non-shrink grout.
D.Final grade after jacking must be within ± ⅛ inch of finished grade profile.
