Book Description
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.

Bond Characteristics of Overlays Placed Over Bridge Decks Sealed with HMWM Or Epoxy

Book Description
The reported research examines the bond strength between overlays placed over bridge decks which are sealed with epoxy resin or high molecular weight methacrylate (HMWM) sealers. The study involved field and laboratory experimental testing of cores under direct shear, Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) interfacial specimens, beams, and a 1/3-scale bridge subassembly of a typical steel stringer bridge. Micro-silica modified concrete, latex modified concrete, and superplasticized dense concrete overlays were used in this study. The experimental data were complemented with finite element studies. Despite often stark variations in the values of bond strength obtained from different testing methods, the data universally suggest that the use of a sealer at the interface can reduce the available bond strength.

Book Description
Highway Bridge Maintenance Planning and Scheduling provides new tactics for highway departments around the world that are faced with the dilemma of providing improved operations on a shoestring budget. Even after the much needed infrastructure funding is received, the question of which project comes first must be answered. Written by a 20-year veteran with the Kansas Department Of Transportation Bridge Office in design and in maintenance, this book provides Senior Bridge Maintenance Engineers with practical advice on how to create an effective maintenance program that will allow them to not only plan, schedule, direct, and monitor highway bridge repair and rehabilitation projects, but also evaluate all completed work for technical acceptability, productivity, and unit-cost standards. - Provides the tools and methods for building, maintaining, planning, and scheduling effective maintenance - Presents experience-based suggestions for evaluating highway bridges to determine maintenance priorities - Includes methods for evaluating all completed work for technical acceptability, productivity, and unit-cost standards
