Evaluation of Epoxo 300-C nonskid coating for use on bridge decks

There is a problem of polishing steel grid bridge decks. The I-10 bridge over the East Pascagoula River is of particular concern because of the volume, speed of traffic, length of span, and the rapid decrease in skid numbers. In addition, the grid causes lateral movement which is critical with motorcycles. The purpose of the study was to find a better way to improve skid resistance on steel grid bridge decks. It appears from the tests that Epoxo will provide a good long-life skid resistant surface on concrete and also steel plate. On the steel grid the wear is much heavier because of the small contact area between the tire and the grid.
