Study of High Density and Latex Modified Concrete Bridge Deck Overlays


Book Description

Portland cement concrete overlay surfacings for bridge decks which will effectively resist de-icing salt solution penetration are a major concern. The report compares the relative effectiveness of latex modified concrete and high density concrete overlays.

Building Deck Waterproofing


Book Description

Architects, specifiers, contractors, and manufacturers in the waterproof industry cover the basics (including cathodic protection terminology, systems, and history), problem-solving in the field and in the lab, and perceived problem areas and proposed solutions. From the symposium of the same name h




Proceedings of the Conference on Cathodic Protection of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Decks, San Antonio, Texas, February 12-13, 1985


Book Description

The conference focused on the major problem facing highway and bridge engineers: deterioration of concrete bridge decks caused by corrosion of the reinforcing steel. The conference was aimed primarily at giving bridge owners and engineers an understanding of cathodic protection as the only means to stop corrosion on bridge decks.







Latex-modified Concretes and Mortars


Book Description

This synthesis wil be of interest to materials engineers, construction engineers, maintenance engineers, pavement contractors and others interested in the use of latex-modified mortars (LMM) and concretes ( LMC). Information is provided on material properties of various LMM and LMC, as well as current construction practices used for LMM and LMC. Potential applications for LMM and LMC are also included. The use of innovative modified portland cement mortars and concretes for construction and maintenance applications is growing. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the current state of the practice with respect to the use of latex-modified portland cement concretes and mortars. The extent of use of each material (including case histories), based on results of surveys of state highway agencies and a review of the literature, is summarized.
