Abstract: In response to concerns about the durability of its bridge-decks in terms of corrosion of reinforcing steel, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) initiated a seven-year research project to study the effectiveness of various sealers and laminates under specific conditions (weather, construction practices and maintenance practices) found in Illinois. This article reviews the results of the study, with applications for preventative maintenance and bridge preservation.
