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 ...

Testing and Evaluation of Components for a Composite Bridge Deck

Concrete Bridge Deck Condition Assessment Using Robotic System Rabit

Development and implementation of RABIT (Robotics Assisted Bridge Inspection Tool) in condition assessment concrete bridge decks is described. The system uses multiple nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies in characterization of three most common deterioration types: rebar corrosion, delamination, and concrete degradation. The system implements four NDE technologies: electrical resistivi...

Steel Concrete Composite Structures: State of Art

The aim of this review article is to examine solutions and challenges associated with composite construction. Structural steel and concrete, each of the two materials can be used to its best advantage and, therefore, composite structures have proved economical in terms of overall cost. Combination of steel and concrete systems has been conceived on the premises that each type of construction of...
