KYTC	572 Doug Gesso Agency	Y Approve	The spray-on class of liners are rated least costly in FHWA developed liner decision analysis software. FHWA also noted this class "Does not enhance structural intergrity". The product literature states otherwise. Defer to Materials and Structures for structural rehab evaluation potential. Otherwise, where design conditions warrant, recommend experimental evaluation.	Sep 25, 2013	1285
KYTC	592 Tim Tharpe Agency	U Undecided	Does not appear to be applicable to traffic operations. Defer final ruling to subject matter experts.	Sep 24, 2013	1276
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	N Disapprove	I am unconvinced by the submitted information. I would like to see a case study in addition to the specifications, with photos and references. This material does not seem to match our specifications for RAPID and VERY RAPID hardening materials as far as compressive strengths.	Mar 22, 2012	1003
