Committee Mission: Develop and report information on polymers in concrete and the use of adhesives with concrete.

Goals: Make revisions, ballot, and publish the following updated documents: ACI 548.10: Specifications for Type MMS (Methyl Methacrylate Slurry) Polymer Overlays for Bridge and Parking Garage Decks, 548.1R: Guide for the Use of Polymers in Concrete, ACI 548.4-11: Specification for Latex-Modified Concrete Overlays, and ACI 548.14-YY Specification For Repairing Concrete with Epoxy Mortar. Withdraw ACI 548.12: Specification for Bonding Hardened Concrete and Steel to Hardened Concrete with an Epoxy Adhesive. Prepare Tech notes on: “What is Polymer Concrete?” and “Is Polymer Concrete Suitable for Accelerated Bridge Construction?” Sponsor session on "Advances in Polymer Concrete" during the fall meeting in Dallas.
