Abstract:

The objectives of this research were to evaluate the experimental protective coating that was applied to approximately 1,200 linear feet of concrete median barrier along the paving project on a section of I 65 between mile points 131.289 and 136.421 in downtown Louisville. ; The project was completed generally in accordance with the specifications and special notes. This experimental project is the first trial of concrete coatings identified under KYSPR 05-271 Coatings, Sealants and Fillers to Address Bridge Concrete Deterioration and Aesthetics-Phase 1. The coatings systems identified under that study were intended to provide improved protection and aesthetics for reinforced concrete. This project proved that one candidate coatings system could be applied successfully on existing concrete. It is recommended that KYTC further pursue use of this knowledge by conducting more experimental/prototype projects to further investigate how coatings hold up on new and old concrete barriers.
