The practicality of using polymer concrete PC to repair portland cement concrete PCC bridge decks and pavements has been demonstrated. PC repairs will cure rapidly over a wide range of temperatures (0/sup 0/ to 38/sup 0/C), develop high strength in a few hours, and bond well to PCC. The use of PC as a thin, permeable, skid-resistant overlay has to date shown outstanding wear characteristics. The practicality of placement is not yet conclusive, but the material promises many advantages.
