Abstract:
Authors present an experimental evaluation of a polymer adhesive material for bridge deck repair. The technique is relatively new for repair of horizontal delamination. Injection of polymer from the top surface is evaluated. Compressive, flexure, and tensile tests are performed and the technique is compared to other specimens to evaluate the bond between the polymer material and the concrete.
