Abstract

For bridges with pavements or exposed concrete, maintenance repair is required 10 to 15 years after construction. Therefore, preventive maintenance is required to prevent premature deterioration and further damage to the pavement. The objective of this study is to measure the performance of epoxy thin layer pavement as a method of bridge surface maintenance. By applying 3-6 mm of epoxy over the existing pavement without removing the existing concrete pavement, the deterioration of the concrete pavement can be prevented and the durability of the bridge deck and bridge can be improved. The use of epoxy thin layer pavement is an economical and affordable way to maintain concrete bridges.
