Development and Field Evaluation of a Technique for Polymer Impregnation of New Concrete Bridge Deck Surfaces
The development and field evaluation of a technique of impregnating new concrete bridge decks with an acrylic polymer system to a depth of 1 inch (25 mm) or more for protection against chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel and freeze-thaw deterioration is reported. The durability of concrete treated with the polymer impregnation technique was determined in chloride intrusion, freeze-thaw and skid and abrasion resistance tests. The first polymer impregnation of the entire riding surface of a full size bridge deck was performed as a part of this research and development program in October 1974. A detailed discussion of this first field treatment and a general discussion of two subsequent full size bridge treatments which resulted in refinements to the treatment technique are included.
