Freeze-Thaw and Skid Resistance Performance of Surface Coatings on Concrete

摘要

The report summarizes tests made on several materials used to prevent deterioration and thereby extend the service lives of bridge decks. Concrete specimens using various coatings or seals were subjected to freeze-thaw cycles and the protection resulting from the surface coatings was evaluated. Various conditions for materials and temperatures were explored in the tests. Quantities and cost of coatings were also studied. Skid resistant tests were made on specimens using the British Portable Tester. (BPR abstract).
