Mix and apply the epoxy under the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use an epoxy component if any of the following occur:
1. Evidence of crystallization
2. Permanent increase in viscosity too thick to be adequately mixed
3. Settled pigments that cannot be readily dispersed with a paddle
4. Component is older than the manufacturer's recommended expiration date
Thoroughly stir each epoxy component before mixing them together. Do not mix partial kits. Do not add solvents.
Automatic mixing equipment must have positive displacement pumps and be capable of metering a 2-component mix in the specified ratio ± 5 percent by volume of either component.
Mix the 2 epoxy components until no trace of black or white streaks is present in the mixed epoxy.
Clean surfaces to receive the epoxy of rust, paint, grease, asphalt, loose, and deleterious material. Apply the epoxy and place materials to be bonded before the epoxy starts to thicken. Do not use epoxy that has exceeded its working life.
Prime surfaces with epoxy immediately before placing epoxy concrete or mortar.
When bonding freshly-mixed concrete to hardened concrete, coat the blast-cleaned concrete surface with epoxy using a brush or roller. Place freshly-mixed concrete while the epoxy is tacky. Apply new coat of epoxy if the epoxy sets.

96-1.02D(2) Long Term Design Strength
Determine the LTDS of geosynthetic reinforcement from the ultimate tensile strength in the primary strength direction divided by reduction factors. Calculate LTDS from the guidelines in Geosynthetic Research Institute Standard Practice GG4a, GRI GG4b, or GRI GT7.
The product of the reduction factors must be at least 1.30. Determine the reduction factor for creep using a 75 year design life for permanent applications. For temporary applications, use a 5 year design life to determine the reduction factor. Determine the installation damage reduction factor from the characteristics of backfill materials used.
If test data is not available, use default values of reduction factors in the Geosynthetic Research Institute Standard Practice to determine LTDS.
