Laboratory Evaluation of Polysulfide Epoxy Overlay Material for Bridge Deck

Testing and Evaluation of Components for a Composite Bridge Deck

Detection of Bridge Deck

Delamination is probably the most serious form of deterioration I which is commonly found in britlge decks. It ultimately results in large scale spalling necessitating costly repairs. This type of failure is believed to be caused chiefly from salt induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. An instrument designed to detect delamination, and tests conducted to val:iAate its perf'ormance, are .br...

Implementation of Conductive Concrete Overlay for Bridge Deck Deicing at Roca, Nebraska

Study on Performance of Epoxy Asphalt Concrete Applied in the Deck Pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge

As a fair deck pavement material of its kind used in steel bridge, the epoxy asphalt concrete is considered much more superior to ordinary asphalt concrete in terms of road performance, while still greatly subject to the level of design and construction. Starting from a practical case of the epoxy asphalt concrete that has been applied in the deck pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge, this paper ...

Bridge Deck Deicing

Concrete bridge decks are prone to ice accumulation. The use of road salts and chemicals for deicing is cost effective but causes damage to concrete and corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks. This problem is a major concern to transportation officials and public works due to rapid degradation of existing concrete pavements and bridge decks. The use of insulation materials for ...
