• Abstract:
  An evaluation of the thin polymer concrete overlay placed on the Beulah Road bridge indicates that the overlay is securely bonded to the base concrete and is providing low permeability and high skid resistance after 1 year of service life. The lane constructed with 90-570 resin is more flexible and therefore is providing better protection than the lane constructed with LB183 resin. It is recommended that the performance of the lane constructed with the 90-570 resin be monitored over a 10-year period and that the Department use a resin comparable to 90-570 in the construction of needed polymer concrete overlays.
