AR = RAR / RAC

Where: AR = application or shot rate of undiluted prime

RAR = specified residual application rate

RAC = residual asphalt content of prime

There is good agreement in the literature on application rates. The Asphalt Institute recommends application rates of 0.9 to 2.3 L/m2 (0.2 to 0.5 gal/yd2) for MC cutbacks and 0.5 to 1.4 L/m2 per 25 mm of depth (0.1 to 0.3 gal/yd2/in depth) for asphalt emulsions. Others recommend from 0.65 L/m2 to 2.0 L/m2 (0.15 to 0.45 gal/yd2)

. Application rates should vary based on the openness of the base and no more prime should be placed than can be absorbed by the granular base in 24 hours. Any excess should be removed with blotter sand.

What is the minimum and maximum curing time of asphalt prime coat?

There are no curing time requirement for prime coat. You can asphalt rigth away after your prime as long as the prime have the proper temperature. There are curing time for TACK COAT which is different. (TACK IS OVER ASPHALT,PRIME IS OVER BASE ROCK ).Is a common mistake confuse those two different operations. The curing time for TACK depend of the weather and varie between 8 hrs to 24 hrs. Gustavo Cuenca Civil Engineer.


What is the cement to plaster ratio for a brick wall surfaces?

Hi there, I would use a 5-1 ratio of sand to cement and use a good mortar plastisier. Use plastering sand and mix well. Throughly soak the wall first and apply a light coat (scratch coat) Leave this to dry for a while and before it has completely dried, get the final coat on. Too much water on the wall will result poor bond between the Brick masonry and the plaster on account of lack of suction which is the primary mechanism by virtue of which the Cement Plaster will remain in position against the gravitational force.


Does Shotcrete crack?

Yes it will crack. I think any and all concrete will crack. Maybe not enough to leak water but hairline cracks. Coat your pool with good waterproof sealant if leaks start.


What cement can i use on the face of the block?

It's called Surface Bonding Cement. It has chopped fiberglass in it. How to use it: Build a footer. Stack the block uo on the footer in the shape of the building. Get the block wet on one side of the wall. Trowel a 1/8" coat of Surface Bonding Cement on that side of the wall. Go to the other side of the wall, wet it and trowel a 1/8" coat of Surface Bonding Cement onto the wall. Keep it damp for the next week so it gets a chance to cure properly. Remember, concrete hardens by chemical reaction, not by drying out.


When should concrete forms be removed?

It depends. If the air and ground are warm, it might only be 2 or 3 hours before the forms are stripped. If a high-early-strength admixture is in the concrete mix, the forms could likely be remove at around an hour after placing it. This could result in stress cracks in the placed concrete, however. On the other hand, forms hold water inside the concrete where it is critically needed for the mix to cure and harden. If forms are stripped in the first 3 days or so since placing the concrete mix, then other means must be used to keep the water in the mix. A spray coat of latex liquid (Curing compound) can do it. A sprinkler running 24 hours per day can do it (This is the best way), or a covering of plastic sheeting can do it. Some people still use large burlap blankets soaked in water to cover the concrete.

What is the difference between tack coat and prime coat?

There is a substantial amount of misinformation concerning the function and proper use of prime. Prime is not glue-causing the base to adhere to the pavement is not its purpose. Prime's purpose is to protect the base from rain and light traffic, when the paving will be delayed.A prime coat is an application of an asphalt cutback or emulsified asphalt to a prepared base. The base can be either a sub grade or a base rock. Prime functions as a protector from rain for both types of bases. A primecoat should not be confused with a tack coat. Tack is an a adhesive for gluing two asphalt layers together.


What is the major importance of prime coat on base course?

The major importance of prime coat on base course should be to produce an appropriate surface for a stronger bond between the asphalt binder course and the base course. Apart from this, the prime coat also discourages the intrusion of surface moisture into the underlying layers.

How much is the application rate for asphalt prime coat?

Prime sealing coat shall be MC30 or MC70 complying with ASSHTO M82 or as directed by the Engineer and shall be applied to the prepared sub-base layer at a rate between 0.8 and 1.2kg/m2 and at a temperature between 60' C and 80' C. Tests shall be carried out on site to determine the rate of spread of the prime sealing coat material.
