Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete bridge deck overlays have been used in the United States since 1960 to extend the service life of deteriorated concrete bridge decks and improve reliability. Concrete bridge decks with overlays suffer various types of deterioration, so it is necessary to identify and assess the effectiveness of different nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies in the laboratory under controlled conditions and in the field under actual conditions. This report provides an overview of seven types of widely used overlays: asphalt with a liquid membrane, asphalt with a fabric membrane, asphalt without a membrane, silica fume-modified concrete, latex-modified concrete (LMC), epoxy polymer concrete, and polyester polymer concrete. This report identifies and ranks available and promising NDE technologies to assess the performance of different types of overlays and concrete bridge decks. This report describes laboratory validation on overlays for nine commonly used NDE technologies. The nine NDE technologies are: sounding, ultrasonic surface waves (USW), impact echo (IE), ultrasonic tomography (UT), impulse response (IR), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity (ER), half-cell potential (HCP), and infrared thermography (IRT). This report details the results of laboratory tests validating the NDE technologies for the seven different types of overlays. Field validation using the RABITTM bridge deck assessment tool and manual testing equipment was also performed. Results from the study on which this report is based indicated that GPR was the most effective method for detecting defects in underlying concrete specimens through both bonded and debonded overlays; however, GPR could not detect overlay debonding. Results also showed that USW, IE, and UT were effective stress-wave-based methods for detecting defects under bonded overlays but not asphalt overlays. Researchers found that asphalt overlays at low temperatures (i.e., 32°F or below) improved the applicability of

Highway Research Board and published by Transportation Research Board National Research. This book was released on 1971 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of HRB Special Report contains the papers presented at the Western Summer Meeting, held in Sacramento, California and is organized into three categories. The first group are papers that attempt to identify some of the factors contributing to the deterioration of concrete bridge decks. The second group addresses the general subject of evaluating pavement serviceability and performance. The third group investigates the design and construction of overlays and surface treatments for pavement rehabilitation.

Book Comparison of Ground Penetrating Radar Bridge Deck Evaluation and Repair

Download or read book Comparison of Ground Penetrating Radar Bridge Deck Evaluation and Repair written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility and accuracy of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) in locating delaminations and de-bonding in asphalt concrete overlaid concrete bridge decks. The traditional "chaining" method is a less effective option for finding subsurface defects after an overlay is in place. An infrared thermographic and GPR evaluation was conducted on the I-70 Polk-Quincy viaduct in 1993. A second GPR study was performed in 1997 to evaluate the condition of the bridge deck previous to removal of the existing asphalt overlay and high density concrete overlay and repair of the deteriorated deck. The results of the 1997 GPR study were compared to the results of the 1993 GPR study, the 1998 through 1999 chaining, actual repair areas and portions of the 1989 Geotechnical Unit bridge deck evaluation.

Download or read book A Study of the Effectiveness of Ground Penetrating Radar for Assessing Asphalt Covered Reinforced Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration written by Christopher L. Barnes and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Penetradar Integrated Radar Inspection System (IRIS) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was selected by Dalhousie University DalTech as the most appropriate technology for assessing the condition of reinforced concrete bridge decks because of the ability of the system to penetrate through asphalt concrete overlays and Perform data collection at traffic speeds up to 75-80 km/hr. A collaborative research program was designed by Dalhousie University DalTech and the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Public Works to examine the accuracy and confidence with which GPR can be used to predict the quantity and location of laminations and concrete scaling On asphalt covered bridge decks. Seventy-two bridge decks were surveyed at traffic speeds using GPR for deterioration estimation. The GPR data was processed manually to determine areas of excess signal attenuation and areas of high concrete relative dielectric constant. Deterioration predictions made using GPR were also compared quantitatively and spatially to ground-truthing data obtained from nine bridge decks using the well-established chain drag and half-cell potential surveys after the asphalt was removed from each bridge deck just prior to repair.
