Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve			Apr 09, 2010	387
KYTC D9	48 Phil Mauney Agency	Y Approve	It will have to be cost competitive and user friendly before contractors will use the product over other approved products in this line.		Apr 27, 2009	256
KYTC D6	62 Robert Hill Agency	Y Approve	Looks like a good product. Could be effective on longitudinal lane joints on certain facilities. Would like to compare this products physical properties with an approved product.		Mar 31, 2009	201
Ky Assoc. of Hwy Contractors	47 Michael LaRue Agency	Y Approve	SHould be used and evaluated for effectiveness.		Mar 30, 2009	200
Maintenance	36 Wayne Simpson Agency	Y Approve			Mar 23, 2009	195
KYTC D3	60 Greg Meredith Agency	Y Approve	It sounds like an effective way to solve some difficult cracking issues. It would be worth a try.	It does work because we use a different approach in the way we build our membrane compared to the other membrane manufactures, so it does a better job. On bridge decks, especially box beam type, we have a bullet prove way to prevent surface failure, improve waterproofing and long term life using reflective crack membrane and our Rosphalt 50 waterproof overlay system. You do that by using our reflective crack membrane and our Rosphalt 50 waterproof overlay system.	Mar 20, 2009	190
University of Kentucky	45 Clark Graves Agency	Y Approve	I believe we should allow this on a trial basis. I know we have used these types of materials before with mixed results.		Mar 20, 2009	189
Structural Design	130 James Miracle Agency	Y Approve	Seems to be a good candidate for testing in limited applications and real-world conditions. I do not foresee much use of product on bridges or similar structures. I did not find a unit weight of product.	FFEJC was developed to do fast repairs to bridge or road joints whether they are construction or expansion type. It will replace Strip or Compression Seals on bridge decks. Because it is a pour able material when installed that cures to a flexible rubber type material, and it will form to odd shapes. It adheres well to concrete and steel, or any solid material that you want to attach it to. Vertical joints are installed by blocking both sides and pouring the FFEJC from the top. The material is poured below the surface grade so you can open traffic right away. It is easy to use. It is a two part material that gets mixed in the two gallon container it comes in. You pour it from the container you mix it in. The two gallon container will fix 17 feet of joint, two inches wide. It is poured approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick. So two units will usually repair one full joint in a two lane bridge. It was a lot of flexibility and will hold up for 10 years if properly installed. We do not guarantee that life, but we have tested it in the New York joint testing facility to fatigue failure.	Mar 18, 2009	183
Construction	77 Rachel Mills Agency	Y Approve	Seems very similiar to the material in SP 79.		Mar 13, 2009	181
KYTC D10	80 Steven May Agency	Y Approve			Mar 12, 2009	178
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	U Undecided	Under review. Under review.		Mar 11, 2009	176
KYTC D1	41 Michael McGregor Agency	Y Approve	I think we should try it and test its effectiveness.	This product works great on concrete that will be overlaid with asphalt. Not only on the construction joints but on map cracking as well. John Tortorete, Chase Construction Products/ Royston, jtortorete@chasecorp.com , 412-828-1500 - office , 617-429-1657 - cell	Mar 11, 2009	171
KYTC D8	66 Bruce Neely Agency	Y Approve			Mar 11, 2009	170
KYTC D2	39 Brad Houck Agency	Y Approve	The installation appears a little harder than the normal membrane we are use to, but should not be to hard. The membrane appears to be tougher than whata we are using now. I like the idea of heating the material with torches to increase the bonding ability of the membrane.	This product works if you want to stop or slow down reflective cracking when paving over concrete with construction joints. John	Mar 11, 2009	169
KYTC D5	76 dav kessinger Agency	U Undecided	Any water proofing applications that have been brought to my attention have included bridge decks. In the 108-ARN-ReflCrackMemb.pdf attachment, the following is stated: “Not recommended for use as a Bridge Deck Waterproofing Membrane” “The membrane should be unrolled and the release paper removed” In one response below the following is stated: “FFEJC was developed to do fast repairs to bridge or road joints….. It will replace Strip or Compression Seals on bridge decks. “Because it is a pour able material when installed that cures to a flexible rubber type material, and it will form to odd shapes. Is this response about 108ARN or is FFEJC a different product? In another response the following is stated: “It does work because we use a different approach in the way we build our membrane compared to the other membrane manufactures, so it does a better job. On bridge decks, especially box beam type, we have a bullet prove way to prevent surface failure, improve waterproofing and long term life using reflective crack membrane and our Rosphalt 50 waterproof overlay system. You do that by using our reflective crack membrane and our Rosphalt 50 waterproof overlay system” This seems to contradict the attachment?? Other than bridge decks, I think the use of this type of material will be limited to special case scenarios.		Mar 27, 2009	112
