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,

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 ...

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.

This chapter outlines the use of reinforced concrete in bridges. Reinforced concrete is a versatile material, used in most modern bridges in some way. It can be shaped for architectural effect; it can be precast to standardise, and it is used in structures from small culverts to major bridges and viaducts.

This chapter focuses on conventional prestressed concrete bridges. Prestressed concrete structures, using high-strength materials to improve serviceability and durability, are an attractive alternative for long-span bridges, and have been used worldwide since the 1950s.

In the last couple of years a number of reinforced-concrete bridges in Croatia underwent a pavement renewal by application of a special kind of high performance concrete. If compared to the “ classical” solutions of pavement renewal by application of asphalt layers and waterproofing, this new method significantly accelerated the renewal of ...
