POLYMER CONCRETE OVERLAYS FOR BRIDGE DECKS. CONSTRUCTION REPORT

This report covers the construction of a 3/8-inch Flexolith overlay on a concrete-filled steel grid bridge deck on SR 0060 in Allegheny County. The application procedure is straightforward with no special equipment needed. However, the contractor's inexperience with the material created application problems on the eastbound deck. Patches were made between coats to level low areas created by non-uniformity of the first two applications. These application problems were eliminated by the westbound deck and no intermediate patches were required.
