Abstract:Over the past several years, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has
experienced performance-related issues with aesthetic and protective coatings used on
Wisconsin bridges. Public agencies make significant investments in coating materials to enhance
the aesthetics and durability of steel bridges and their components. It is expected that these coatings
should have reasonably good quality and performance over the relatively long service life of such
structures (between 50 and 100 years). Proper material selection and application of aesthetic/protective
coatings for bridges should help achieve the expected service life and reduce associated maintenance
cost. The intent of this research project was to evaluate the effectiveness of available aesthetic
and protective coating materials for Wisconsin highway steel bridge applications and to develop
recommended specifications and guidelines for future selection and application of coating materials.
