Abstract
A composite structure is provided which resists corrosion and cracking due to water seepage and roadway use. The composite structure of reinforced concrete is wear resistant through bonding it to a liquid-impermeable overlay such as latex concrete with an adhesive imide. The imide has great adhesion to the concrete and has a thermal expansion and flexural strength comparable to the reinforced steel which prevents delamination of the imide and the overlay as road, bridge or deck roof is subjected to traffic and the elements.
