• Abstract:
  The main objective of this study was to develop guidelines for Iowa DOT that can aid in identifying optimum timing for application of polymer concrete overlays or sealers on new bridge decks and its effect on expected service life. The criteria for selecting polymer overlays, sealers, or using both was defined. The research also provides a framework to include assessment of cost-benefit ratio as a factor for application of such systems.
