Abstract:
Prepackaged, dry, combined materials are commonly used in the United States in construction and repair projects. Users of these materials are experiencing a number of quality issues that are impacting their projects. This article summarizes finding of a workshop organized by the Strategic Development Council (SDC) in September 2013 in Indianapolis, IN, to identify quality and performance issues with these materials and propose solutions to overcome them.
