Polymer concrete and its application to bridge deck maintenance
Abstract
Polymer concrete seems to solve the problem to provide fast development of strength and protection against chloride penetration in the bridge deck. A system related to patchwork using polymer concrete with local aggregates was developed and compared with the commercially available materials. The laboratory tests and field performance of the system are described.
