Due to dynamic loading, the bridge decks must be protected with elastic, crack-bridging systems.
To increase the durability of reinforced concrete bridges, all concrete movement and construction joints, plus the bridge decks have to be waterproofed to prevent serious damage to the concrete, or to the embedded steel reinforcement. Due to dynamic loading, the bridge decks must be protected with elastic, crack-bridging systems to accommodate any movement and maintain the protection.
Advantages
- Elastic, crack-bridging properties, especially at low temperatures.
- Resistance to chlorides and automotive chemicals such as fuel, oils and hydraulic fluids.
- Easy to install and accommodate variations in level and substrate conditions.
- Fast application to reduce traffic closure times.
