This report describes work done on various combinations of monomers and polymer concrete mixes and identifies the mixes showing the greatest potential for use in bridge deck overlays. Presented are test results showing physical properties of various polymer concrete mixes, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, thermal coefficient of expansion, and shrinkage coefficient. The effects of polymer content, work time, and temperature on various properties are also discussed. The development of two polymer concrete systems with excellent membrane potential are described along with the details of bonding characteristics of several systems. Finally, a polymer concrete mix with suitable properties for deck and pavement patching is detailed.

Since the late 1960's, the major concern of bridge maintenance engineers has been bridge deck repairs. Highway departments across the country found bridge maintenance costs soaring as bridge decks deteriorated to an unsound condition. As one avenue approaching this bridge deck repair problem, the Federal Highway Administration commissioned the Oregon State Highway Division to investigate the use of a quick setting, high-early strength material called polymer concrete.

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.
