Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of road surface repair and in particular the repair of concrete bridge decks.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a bridge deck resurfacing material formed of a layer or layers of cementitious material and rock chips to provide a long lasting and high friction surface.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of applying the materials to the road surface quickly to avoid long traffic delays.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a method of filling in potholes prior to resurfacing the road.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a high friction road surface.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide anti-ponding lines in the road surface.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide anti-icing devices embedded in the road surface.
  • this invention is directed to the resurfacing of roads and in particular bridge decks.
  • the invention includes spreading with a squeegee a thin layer of polymer modified concrete over a bridge deck surface and then applying by broadcasting a layer of granite rock chips to the wet concrete to provide a high friction surface.
  • An optional second layer of the polymer modified concrete is then applied over the first layer of rock chips using the squeegee and an optional second layer of rock chips is then broadcast over that layer and then heavy quartz sand may be applied. If spalling or potholes are present in the road surface, these defects are repaired prior to the road resurfacing. Repair of potholes is accomplished by mixing granite aggregate rock chips with polymer modified concrete to form a putty which is then screeded into the potholes.
  • De-icing devices may also be added during the resurfacing project to prevent snow and ice from building up on the road surface.
  • Electric resistance heating elements are placed on the highway surface and covered with polymer modified concrete. The heating elements are preferably connected to solar cells and/or batteries or an electric generator to provide electricity to heat the road surface to sufficient temperature to prevent ice and snow from accumulating on the heated road surface.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bridge deck in need of repair.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the bridge deck of FIG. 1 having potholes, spalling and cracks repaired prior to application of the resurfacing material.
  • FIG. 3 shows the application of the polymer modified cement to the bridge deck
  • FIGS. 4 - 7 show the repair of a road surface in sequential cross-sections.
  • FIG. 8 shows a bridge deck having sections broken away to reveal layers.
  • FIG. 9 shows a bridge deck having heating wires placed in the wheel lanes prior to application of the resurfacing materials.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bridge deck 10 having defects 12 therein.
  • these defects 12 i.e. potholes, spalling, transverse cracks or popouts, etc.
  • the polymer modified concrete is preferably made by mixing 330 resin manufactured by Rohm & Haas with Quik Krete cement powder at a ratio of two gallons of resin per sixty pound bag of powder.
  • the rock chips are preferably granite chips in sieve size “0” (1 ⁇ 4′′ ⁇ 1 ⁇ 8′′) and in the defect repair portion of the bridge deck resurfacing project are mixed with the Quik Krete and resin to form a putty 14 and screeded into the defects 12 to form a level road surface 16 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the rock chip and resin mixture is then allowed to set up. The time to set up will vary depending on weather conditions, but will generally be less than an hour.
  • the polymer modified concrete 18 is applied to the road surface 16 of the bridge deck 10 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the polymer modified concrete layer 18 is applied to the road surface 16 using a squeegee machine 20 such as that described in my prior U.S. Pat. No. 5,735,952.
  • the squeegee machine 20 preferably uses a 12 foot wide squeegee 22 as shown which can cover an entire traffic lane in one pass with a thin coating of 1 ⁇ 8 inches to ⁇ fraction (1/16) ⁇ inches of polymer modified concrete.
  • a layer of rock chips 24 is applied while the polymer modified concrete layer 18 is still wet.
  • the rock chips 24 are applied by broadcasting using an air blower 26 giving the rock chips 24 enough velocity to embed into the polymer modified concrete layer 18 .
  • the rock chips 24 are preferably applied by using a blower on the shoulder lane next to the lane on which the polymer modified concrete layer 18 has been laid and blowing the rock chips 24 onto the polymer modified concrete layer 18 .
  • the polymer modified concrete layer 18 is then allowed to dry. This period may vary according to weather conditions, but generally is about 1 and 1 ⁇ 2 to 2 hours. Any loose rock chips are then blown off by an air blower 27 .
  • FIGS. 4 - 7 show sequential cross-sections of the road surface 16 as first the putty 14 is applied, then the polymer modified concrete layer 18 and finally the rock chips 24 .
  • FIG. 8 shows a completed bridge deck resurfacing with portions broken away to reveal the layers 18 , 24 , 28 and 30 of resurfacing material.
  • a second layer of polymer modified concrete 28 is applied over the first layer of rock chips 24 .
  • the second layer of polymer modified concrete 28 is of the same thickness as the first layer 18 .
  • a second layer of rock chips and optionally heavy quartz sand 30 is applied to the second layer of polymer modified concrete 28 using the blower technique described above.
  • de-icing devices may be installed on existing bridge decks and road surfaces.
  • heating elements 34 preferably in the form of copper wires of sufficient diameter to be durable and produce heat to warm the pavement 32 enough to melt ice and snow are placed on the wheel lanes 36 of the pavement 32 after application of the first polymer modified concrete layer 38 .
  • Layer 38 is shown as applied in three foot wide stripes covering the wheel lanes 36 of the pavement 32 .
  • the heating elements 34 are preferably laid in a grid pattern as shown in FIG. 6, but could also be placed in a zigzag pattern.
  • power is provided to the copper wires by batteries 40 and photovoltaic solar cells 42 .
  • a thermostat may be applied to the heating elements 34 to maintain a desired temperature of the road surface during sub-freezing weather.
  • the thermostat would be set at a temperature of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit so that the heating elements 34 will be activated when the surface temperature dips below 40 degrees.
  • a second layer of polymer modified concrete 44 is applied over the entire wheel lane 36 covering the heating elements 34 .
  • Layer 44 may also be applied to the entire road surface.
  • a layer 46 of rock chips and heavy sand is broadcast by blowing onto the polymer modified concrete layer 44 to embed the rock chips and sand into the top of the wet concrete.
  • the concrete layer 44 is allowed to dry prior to traffic being allowed to travel over the roadway.
  • FIG. 3 also shows the application of anti-ponding lines 48 to the polymer modified concrete layer 18 .
  • the anti-ponding lines 48 are formed in the polymer modified concrete layer 18 immediately after the application of the layer 24 of rock chips is broadcast onto the polymer modified concrete layer 18 but while the polymer modified cement 18 is still wet.
  • the polymer modified concrete layer 18 is preferably one-eighth to one -quarter inches in thickness which will facilitate deeper lines 48 .
  • the lines 48 are formed simply by drawing a rake 50 across the travel lane 52 to provide evenly spaced lines 48 perpendicular to the direction of travel.
  • the lines 48 create parallel shallow grooves 54 spaced approximately three-fourths of an inch to one inch apart which facilitate water flow off the bridge deck 16 and helps prevent ponding.
