Abstract: The overlaying of bridge decks has remained one of the most used rehabilitation methods to extend their service life. However, the long-term performance of overlays has not been entirely understood, and the significant ...

Abstract: Procedures are developed for estimating the parameters required for life‐cycle costing of the elements of maintenance and rehabilitation of concrete bridge decks subject to the deteriorative effects of deicing chemicals. ...

Abstract: Bridge superstructures built with adjacent precast concrete voided members have the advantages of low profiles, faster construction times, no requirement for deck formwork, and the consequent reduction of the duration of ...

Abstract: Recently, the use of preformed membrane systems has increased as a corrosion preventive technique in reducing chloride intrusion into reinforced concrete bridge decks. However, there is no nondestructive method to evaluate ...

Abstract: A test installation of deep polymer impregnation was applied to an 8‐yr old, heavily traveled bridge deck in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1975. While no surface spalls existed, the chloride contents at the level of the top ...

Abstract: A number of state departments of transportation (DOTs) have established bridge management systems (BMSs) to assist in prioritizing and optimizing bridge improvement programs within budgetary constraints. Several factors, ...
