INTRODUCTION
1.1. Preface. This handbook contains information on current practices (as of September 1998)
for the repair of cracks and spalls in concrete pavements as well as on the selection of materials
and equipment. This handbook is intended for use as a field handbook for airfield concrete
pavement repair for all U.S. Navy, Army, and Air Force facilities; however, the techniques for
repair can be used for other concrete pavements as well. References are provided for additional
information on pavement repair practices not addressed in this manual. Tables 1.1. and 1.2. list
applicable American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications and American
Concrete Institite (ACI) publications. AF Records Disposition. Ensure that all records created
by this handbook are maintained and disposed of IAW AFMAN 37-139, "Records Disposition
Schedule."
1.2. Safety Considerations. It is the responsibility of supervisory personnel to ensure worker
safety by informing the workers of any potential hazardous practices. Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines must be followed at all times for hazardous practices
such as sandblasting joints and cracks, airblasting for cleaning cracks, and working with
chemicals. Workers are required to be informed of all hazardous materials and practices that
may involve exposure to toxic materials in the workplace. Material Safety Data Sheets must be
available to all wokers at the work site.

Repair Manual," MIL-HDBK-1102/7.2, Norfolk, Virginia.
