The rapid deterioration of concrete bridge decks as a result of the increased use of deicing salts is one of the most severe problems facing the highway industry today. One possible solution to the problem is the use of concrete polymer materials. The materials of prime interest are polymer-impregnated concrete (PIC) and polymer concrete (PC), both of which have excellent durability and strength properties. Three potential applications: repair of deteriorated bridge decks, polymer impregnation of new bridge deck surfaces, and full impregnation of precast deck panels have been studied in laboratory and field tests and the results have been encouraging. These results and economic considerations are described in the paper. The work in each of the areas is currently being implemented by the Federal Highway Administration.
