The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of FLEXOGRID, a modified epoxy resin, to a concrete bridge deck. The FLEXOGRID is designed to impart a thin, fast curing, water impermeable protective overlay to the deck. The FLEXOGRID is 1/4 inch thick consisting of 2 applications of an epoxy broadcasted with a hard aggregate. The FLEXOGRID was easy to apply after the bridge deck delaminations were repaired and the entire deck was shotblasted. Only minor application problems occurred which can be corrected for future applications.

A mechanistic approach was used to develop improved polymer concrete (PC) for repair of portland cement concrete (PCC). The VEPM binder system (vinyl esters containing acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, polar methacrylates, styrene and a silane coupling agent) produced PCs with tensile, flexural and compressive strengths superior to existing polyester PCs. VEPM PCs have excellent bonding characteristics to steel and PCC (both dry and moist), and the bonds are highly resistant to degradation by harsh freeze-thaw-soak cycles. They also have good absorption, chemical resistance and volume shrinkage.
