Slide 5 - Non-Shrink Grout: Essential Properties
- Non-shrink grout is a hydraulic cement-based material.
- Maintains original volume or expands slightly during hardening.
- Critical for load transfer between structural members.
- Prevents gaps in joints that lead to structural failure.
- Ensures consistent support in high-stress airport environments.

Slide 7 - Sealants and Backer Rods: Working Together
Joint Sealants Sealants provide a flexible, waterproof barrier in pavement joints. They protect against water infiltration, debris, and freezing/thawing cycles that crack concrete.
Backer Rod Functionality Backer rods act as a bond breaker and support for the sealant. They ensure proper depth-to-width ratio, allowing the sealant to flex under movement without bottoming out.
