Reinforced Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration: Diagnosis, Treatment and Repair. Part Two-Treatment

摘要

The paper reports the results of treating concrete with a number of different sealing materials for the purpose of preventing ingress of water and deicer solutions. Effectiveness of the sealants was measured by the absortion and freeze-thaw resistance of concrete specimens which had been treated either before or after abrasion of the surface. The three most beneficial treatments so far are boiled linseed oil, tung oil, and sand-filled cold tar emulsion with a sealing primer. (BPR abstract)
