Book Synopsis Long-term Performance of Polymer Concrete for Bridge Decks by : David W. Fowler
Download or read book Long-term Performance of Polymer Concrete for Bridge Decks written by David W. Fowler. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 423: Long-Term Performance of Polymer Concrete for Bridge Decks addresses a number of topics related to thin polymer overlays (TPOs). Those topics include previous research, specifications, and procedures on TPOs; performance of TPOs based on field applications; the primary factors that influence TPO performance; current construction guidelines for TPOs related to surface preparation, mixing and placement, consolidation, finishing, and curing; repair procedures; factors that influence the performance of overlays, including life-cycle cost, benefits and costs, bridge deck condition, service life extension, and performance; and successes and failures of TPOs, including reasons for both.

Book Synopsis Concrete Bridge Deck Performance Data and Metrics for the State of Oregon by : Jael Wettach-Glosser
Download or read book Concrete Bridge Deck Performance Data and Metrics for the State of Oregon written by Jael Wettach-Glosser. This book was released on 2019. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the research on data and metrics related to concrete bridge deck performance for the state of Oregon. With guidance from the literature and ODOT personnel, two datasets were created with data currently available through ODOT and the NBI to evaluate concrete bridge deck performance. Using these datasets, a survival analysis was performed to predict concrete bridge deck performance and identify the parameters that drive bridge deck deterioration. To improve concrete bridge deck performance monitoring in the future, a list of parameters that can be collected by ODOT was identified by combining the results from the survival analysis with the responses from a survey on bridge deck performance.

Book Synopsis High-Performance Concrete Bridge Decks: A Fast-Track Implementation Study, Volume 1: Structural Behavior by : Robert J. Frosch
Download or read book High-Performance Concrete Bridge Decks: A Fast-Track Implementation Study, Volume 1: Structural Behavior written by Robert J. Frosch. This book was released on 2008-11-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transverse cracking of concrete bridge decks is problematic in numerous states. Cracking has been identified in the negative and positive moment regions of bridges and can appear shortly after opening the structure to live loads. To improve the service life of the bridge deck as well as decrease maintenance costs, changes to current construction practices in Indiana are being considered. A typical bridge deck was instrumented which incorporated the following: increased reinforcement amounts, decreasing reinforcement spacing, and high-performance, low-shrinkage concrete. The low shrinkage concrete was achieved using a ternary concrete mix. The objective of this research was to determine the performance, particularly in terms of transverse cracking and shrinkage, of a bridge incorporating design details meant to reduce cracking. Based on measurements from the bridge, it was determined that maximum tensile strains experienced in the concrete were not sufficient to initiate cracking. An on-site inspection was performed to confirm that cracking had not initiated. The data was analyzed and compared with the behavior of a similarly constructed bridge built with nearly identical reinforcing details, but with a more conventional concrete to evaluate the effect of the HPC. Based on this study, it was observed that full-depth transverse cracks did not occur in the structure and that the use of HPC lowered the magnitude of restrained shrinkage strains and resulting tensile stresses.
