This report is not wholly a culmination of a planned or programmed research project. It is a historical account of damage sustained by both new and old concrete bridge-decks -- through freeze-thaw, salt action, etc, -- and of some expedient repairs which have been effected.

Concrete Bridge Design and Construction. No. 4: Types of concrete bridge
The Structural Engineer, 2014This article examines the selection process for the most suitable type of concrete bridge. The general parameters of the scheme such as typical spans, overall deck area, clearance requirements, alignment and the overall aesthetic will start to suggest which type of bridge deck and construction methods might be appropriate.

Maintenance of Concrete Bridges
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2001The principal reason concrete bridges deteriorate is that the reinforcement is damaged by chloride-induced corrosion. Effective maintenance, for the most part, involves activities designed to keep chlorides away from the reinforcement. Six maintenance activities help accomplish this goal: flushing debris and chlorides from decks and pier caps annually,

Advanced Materials Research, 2015
When traffic intensity on motorways exceeds more than 10 thousands heavy vehicles per day, it is clear that the concrete pavement is the most durable solution. But on bridges and adjacent areas it is usually used asphalt pavement. Recent research shows that the change in surface skid resistance increases a risk of traffic accident in these areas.

SERVICE LIFE OF CONCRETE BRIDGES
2004Society's largest and most long-term investments are made in its infrastructure particularly roads, bridges and railway. Attention should therefore be drawn not only to initial construction costs but also to the growing future maintenance costs. Vast construction of new structures with short construction time and poor works quality, leads to immense ...
