Lesson 1: Maintenance and Preservation Techniques
for Concrete Decks and Slabs
Module 2: Maintenance and Preservation Techniques
for Decks and Slabs
2:1-18
Learning Outcomes• Explain common deficiencies of concrete
bridge decks and slabs• Describe concrete deck and slab protection
methods• Review the washing and cleaning
procedure for concrete decks and slabs
2:1-19
Share Your Experiences!•How many decks do you maintain that are covered in asphalt?
•Have you performed… o Epoxy injection?o Deck repairs?o Surface sealing?o Surface milling?o Hydrodemolition?
2:1-20
Concrete Deck Protection Methods• Washing and cleaning • Corrosion resistant reinforcing• Crack control and sealing• Waterproofing and concrete sealers• Cathodic and Galvanic protection• Overlays
2:1-21
Crack Sealing by Sealers• Crack sealing with penetrating sealers• Applied by spraying or pouring on the deck
and spreading over the entire area using brooms or squeegees
• Low viscosity penetrating sealers
2:1-22

Concrete Deck Overlays• Asphalt • Concrete • Polymer concrete
2:1-30
Overlays ‐ Polymer• Polymer concrete overlays
o Light weighto Result in minimal grade differenceso Reduce permeability
• Use resins of epoxy, epoxy urethane, or methyl methacrylate
