Project description

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of Polyester Polymer Concrete (PPC) overlays to be applied on two older bridge decks in Iowa and develop guidelines for Iowa DOT that can aid in the implementation, design, and construction of PPC overlays based on challenges and successes observed in the two case studies. This project will aid in future bridge deck overlay decision making and provide design, construction, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) guidance for future practice.
