2318 Implement Bridge Deck Cure and Seal for Slip-Formed Parapet Walls and Sidewalks

This project will investigate the performance of Silencure in both the lab and field for curing and treating horizontal and vertical concrete. The work will also aim to understand several other curing methods used by ODOT including wet curing, pulp cure, curing compounds, and silane sealers. This information will provide ODOT insight into maintaining its structural concrete, improving its construction practices, and improving the performance of its bridge decks while also reducing the time, cost, and effort during construction. In the past, the department investigated using lithium silicate curing compounds in the place of wet curing and also the use of silanes to penetrate and waterproof the surface of concrete. This work will benefit ODOT by providing a quantitative comparison of both laboratory and field usage of Silencure as well as other procedures used to cure and extend the service life of concrete. Recommendations will be made about the modification of ODOT specifications to help reduce costs during construction while still providing long-term performance of concrete structures.
