Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to utilize lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA) as a decision-support tool for three commonly encountered decisions in bridge management: bridge deck overlay decisions, expansion joint replacement ...

Abstract: Core extraction is the most common method for measuring concrete layer thickness in pavement construction. Although this method provides a very accurate thickness measurement, it is destructive, time-consuming, and does ...

Abstract: Full-depth precast concrete deck systems have several advantages compared with cast-in-place concrete deck systems in bridge construction, such as improved construction quality and safety, reduced construction duration and ...

Abstract: Precast/prestressed concrete I-girders with wide and thin top flanges have been widely used by several transportation agencies in the last two decades. These girders have many advantages, such as accommodating a large ...

Abstract: Concrete poles used in transmission structures usually are made using the spun-cast method. Recent surveys found that some spun-cast concrete poles have had durability problems as a result of longitudinal cracking and ...

Abstract: Precast concrete (PC) deck systems have several advantages over cast-in-place (CIP) concrete decks in bridge construction, such as improved quality, reduced construction duration, and less dependence on weather and site ...
