Abstract:This project provided for a laboratory and field testing of several high performance repair materials for
pavements and concrete bridge decks. The main purpose was to provide ODOT with materials and procedures
to shorten road and bridge closures. The project was relatively complex with several phases. First, the repair
materials for testing and the locations needed to be selected. This required a thorough review of the available
literature, including the practices used by other state transportation agencies. Next, the repair materials were
installed on pavements and bridge decks on three separate installation projects in ODOT District 8, two by the
Great Lakes Construction Company (TGLCC), and two with ODOT maintenance crews. There was a cold
weather installation on bridge decks and concrete pavements in March 2014, with two products rated for low
temperatures, followed by a larger installation on concrete pavement with four other products in June 2014.
The first two installations were carried out by TGLCC. These installations were monitored for two years from
the first installation. In June 2015, five bridge deck patches with two materials were installed by the ODOT
maintenance crews. In addition, a parallel laboratory testing program of the selected materials was carried out
to evaluate performance and engineering properties. Finally, the specification recommendations were
developed based on the literature review and project results. The phases of the project are documented in five
separate graduate theses published at Cleveland State University.
