Abstract:
This report concludes a study of three bridge deck protective systems which were utilized on a bridge deck constructed over the Brazos River on SH 67 south of Graham, Texas. As noted in the Interim Report of July, 1986, the protective systems applied were as follows: (1) Calcium nitrate was applied to a single test span as a concrete additive to inhibit steel reinforcement corrosion through pH adjustment of concrete (with non epoxy "plain" reinforcement), (2) High molecular weight (HMW) methacrylate was applied as a surface dressing on two test spans as a means of restricting Cl ion penetration through membrane action (with epoxy coated reinforcement and with plain reinforcement), and (3) Linseed oil surface dressing was also applied for the purpose of restricting Cl ion penetration through membrane action (with epoxy coated reinforcement and with plain reinforcement).
