The primary objective of Task 6 was to develop guidelines, recommendations, and a decision- making tool based on extensive laboratory performance evaluation of the selected sealers and coatings (Task 3, Chapter 3 in the Research Report [R1]) under both normal and accelerated weathering (QUV and QFOG exposure) followed by developing a rating system (Task 4, Chapter 4 in the Research Report [R1]) and selective field validation (Task 5, Chapter 5 in the Research Report [R1]). The development of practice guidelines and recommendations in the form of a decision-making tool (systematic stepwise approach) is presented below. Practice guidelines and recommendations developed through this research will be used to ensure effective product selection and application for protecting substructure concrete from chloride-induced corrosion and extending the service life of bridges.
Sealers and coatings protect concrete bridge substructure elements from chloride-induced corrosion and extend the useful life of existing bridges. The...
