This book was released on 2011 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 423: Long-Term Performance of Polymer Concrete for Bridge Decks addresses a number of topics related to thin polymer overlays (TPOs). Those topics include previous research, specifications, and procedures on TPOs; performance of TPOs based on field applications; the primary factors that influence TPO performance; current construction guidelines for TPOs related to surface preparation, mixing and placement, consolidation, finishing, and curing; repair procedures; factors that influence the performance of overlays, including life-cycle cost, benefits and costs, bridge deck condition, service life extension, and performance; and successes and failures of TPOs, including reasons for both.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chloride-ion-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks has become a major problem in the United States. Latex-modified concrete, low-slump dense concrete, and hot-mix asphalt membrane overlays are some of the most used rehabilitation methods. Epoxy-coated reinforcing steel was developed and promoted as a long-term corrosion protection method by the Federal Highway Administration. However, recent evidence has suggested that epoxy-coated reinforcing steel will not provide adequate long-term corrosion protection. The Reynolds Metals Company developed an aluminum bridge deck system as a proposed alternative to conventional reinforced steel bridge deck systems. The deck consists of a polymer concrete overlay and an aluminum substrate. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the bond durability between the overlay and the aluminum substrate after specimens were conditioned in various temperature and humidity conditions. The different environmental conditionings all had a significant effect on the bond durability. Specimens conditioned at 30°C, 45 °C, and 60°C at 98 percent relative humidity all showed a decrease in interfacial bond strength after conditioning. There was also a decrease in the interfacial bond strength for the specimens conditioned in freezing and thawing cycles and specimens conditioned in a salt water soak. The only exposure condition that increased the bond strength was drying the specimens continuously in an oven at 60°C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes work done on various combinations of monomers and polymer concrete mixes and identifies the mixes showing the greatest potential for use in bridge deck overlays. Presented are test results showing physical properties of various polymer concrete mixes, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, thermal coefficient of expansion, and shrinkage coefficient. The effects of polymer content, work time, and temperature on various properties are also discussed. The development of two polymer concrete systems with excellent membrane potential are described along with the details of bonding characteristics of several systems. Finally, a polymer concrete mix with suitable properties for deck and pavement patching is detailed.

Download or read book Field Performance Evaluation of Multiple Fiber reinforced Polymer Bridge Deck Systems Over Existing Girders Phase I written by Roberto A. Lopez-Anido and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) deck systems have emerged as a viable alternative to conventional systems, namely reinforced-concrete slabs. The use of such systems to replace existing, deteriorated bridge deck systems offers both economic benefits and improved performance. The economic advantages are possible for a number of reasons: since such composite systems are lighter, considerable savings are realized by reduced transportation costs (several deck systems can be transported on one truck); erection costs will be less as relatively light cranes can be used to install the decks; and construction time is reduced, which eliminates long traffic delays. Due to the high resistance of FRP deck systems to environmental effects and corrosion attack, the long- term performance is also expected to be improved significantly, leading to lower maintenance and longer service life.

Download or read book The Use of Polymer Concrete for Bridge Deck Repairs on the Major Deegan Expressway written by and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practicality of using polymer concrete to repair holes in bridge decks has been demonstrated by the repair of two large holes in the Third and Lincoln Avenues Viaduct of the Major Deegan Expressway in New York City. All of the work was confined to the non-rush hour (10AM-3PM) part of the day and at least one lane of traffic was maintained on the roadway at all times. The material cost of polymer concrete was 1400 dollars or 260 dollars-cu yd. This represented 4% of the total repair cost and indicates that the material cost is insignificant when repairs on major arterial highways are performed. The use of polymer concrete appears cost effective.
