SPR 2013 Prime KTC: Thin Film Concrete Coatings

KYSPR 12-433 was approved with a completion date of June 30, 2013 and the following Objectives; 1. Identify existing viable concrete coatings and their properties/characteristics. Determine effective acceptance/evaluation tests for those coatings. 2. Provide a compendium of concrete coatings/properties/tests for consideration by KYTC. The properties can include chloride ingress, durability, and aesthetic coating treatments. 3. Evaluate laboratory evaluations/tests of promising concrete coatings. Develop new test procedures if existing ones prove unacceptable for KYTC purposes. Conduct field tests of candidate coatings on existing structures. 4. Provide KYTC with a range of effective concrete bridge coatings and guidelines for selecting them to provide the best benefits to bridges.
