Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world of ever increasing demand on a weakening infrastructure, concentration is being firmly placed on increasing the sustainability of that infrastructure. Tennessee's bridges and the concrete decks, on which the public travels, require a large part of the state's infrastructure spending. Research has shown the current durability standards of Tennessee's bridge decks could be significantly improved which would both increase service life and reduce maintenance costs of these structures. This research concentrates on greatly increasing the lifespan of these bridge decks, throughout the state, through an improved construction specification which will encourage the increased use of supplementary cementitious materials. These improved construction specifications would be performance based in nature and would give suppliers increased freedom to provide a more durable product while simultaneously reducing costs. This new performance based specification will remove the current stringent prescriptive requirements and will use the measurement of surface resistivity (SR) as a key variable to be assessed as a measure of performance. The ultimate goal of implementing a performance based specification is to achieve more durable bridge deck concrete. The proposed specification presented herein grew out of two years of research related to assessing the current situation regarding bridge deck concrete in Tennessee and the development of methodology to perform this assessment.

Book excerpt: One of the most comprehensive programs for the evaluation and definition of the performance of concrete in bridge decks was that undertaken cooperatively by the Portland Cement Association, the Bureau of Public Roads, and eight states distributed throughout the United States. Detailed studies of a few bridges were made in four states and surveys were made on from 100 to 150 bridges in each of eight states, including Virginia, and these were reported. The Research Council's special study of the bridge deck concrete included observation of construction and sampling on 17 structures distributed throughout the state with the exception of the easternmost (Suffolk) and westernmost (Bristol) highway construction districts. These decks were constructed during the spring and summer of 1963 under specifications, subsequently upgraded, that were adjudged to produce concrete of "borderline" performance in bridge decks. These decks had been under traffic for six winters. Because of the similarity of the objectives of the two studies it was deemed desirable to include during the survey of the 17 bridges of the Research Council's project a resurvey of the structures included in the PCA-BPR survey last inspected in 1961.

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.
