REPORT ON POLYMER CONCRETE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS. DESIGN STUDIES ON HIGHWAY BRIDGE DECKING AND LUMINAIRE SUPPORTS: JANUARY 1969--JUNE 1970.

decks was demonstrated and prototype deck panels have been evaluated. Impregnation offers a potential solution to the bridge deck deterioration problem. Impregnated curbstones are also being tested. Techniques for repairing highly deteriorated and delaminated bridge decks by monomer impregnation were demonstrated in field tests in which a 6-in.-thick section of deck was impregnated. Cores taken from the reconstituted deck had compressive strengths and water absorptions of 5000 psi and 1.6 percent, respectively. Plans to repair an entire deck are being formulated by NYSDOT. Low-viscosity monomer systems that can be used to repair delaminated concrete have been developed. (auth)
