A review on the suitability of rubberized concrete for concrete bridge decks

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
Road authorities manage a large population of ageing bridges, a substantial number of which fail to meet the current requirements either due to deterioration and other structural deficiencies or as a result of the escalating demands imposed by increased traffic. This problem is related to the dynamic load from vehicles.
