Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research suggests that epoxy-based surface treatments should be specified for concrete bridge decks when both a chloride barrier and improved skid resistance are desired. If a chloride barrier is all that is needed or desired, a silane surface treatment should be considered; silane treatments are less expensive and easier to apply than epoxy treatments. When a large amount of epoxy is to be mixed, automatic proportioning equipment that can precisely monitor and control the ratios of components should be employed.
