TARTAN SURFACING FOR AN EQUESTRIAN OVERPASS
THE REPORT DESCRIBES THE INSTALLATION OF THE SURFACE AND COMMENTS ON ITS SHORT TERM PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS. THE TARTAN MATERIAL WHICH IS FURNISHED IN PRE-CUT ROLLS IS RESISTANT TO WEATHER AND ALL FORMS OF BIOLOGICAL ATTACK. THE SURFACING IS INSTALLED AS SOON AS THE CONCRETE HAS CURED SUFFICIENTLY. THE DECK SLAB WHICH HAS A WOOD FLOAT FINISH, MUST BE DRY AND CLEAN OF OIL OR DIRT OR ANY SUBSTANCE THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE PERMANENT BOND. IF THE CONCRETE REQUIRES WASHING, IT MUST BE ALLOWED TO DRY A MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS. THE CONCRETE SHALL BE ETCHED WHERE ANY RESIDUE REMAINS OR WHERE THE FINISH IS SUCH THAT A PROPER BOND CANNOT BE OBTAINED. AN EVEN COAT OF PRIMER NO. 300 IS APPLIED TO SATURATE THE DECK, FOLLOWED BY A SECOND COAT AFTER 2 HOURS. A MINIMUM CURING TIME OF 4 HOURS IS REQUIRED BEFORE APPLICATION OF THE THOUROUGHLY MIXED 3M ADHESIVE NO. 100. THE LATTER MUST BE APPLIED(AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 60 DEGREES AND 75 DEGREES F) WITH A 0.125 INCH NOTCHED TROWEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE, METHOD OF MEASUREMENT, AND BASIS OF PAYMENT. THE RANGE OF TEST RESULTS (STRESS-STRAIN; COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH; COEFFICIENT OF RESTITUTION; INDENTATION HARDNESS; LOW TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES; COMPRESSION SET; AND OIL RESISTANCE) ACCEPTABLE FOR THE TARTAN SURFACING ARE PRESENTED.
