EFFECT OF INSULATING THE UNDERSIDE OF A BRIDGE DECK
THE MERIT OF INSULATING THE UNDERSIDE OF A BRIDGE DECK IN /1/ PREVENTING FORMATION OF ICE OR FROST ON A BRIDGE DECK BEFORE SUCH FORMATION ON THE ABUTTING PAVEMENT, AND /2/ DECREASING THE NUMBER OF FREEZE-THAW CYCLES AND SALT APPLICATIONS IS BEING DETERMINED. INFORMATION IS PRESENTED ON APPLICATION AND BONDING PERFORMANCE OF THE URETHANE FOAM, INSTRUMENTATION, AND COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA. PRESENT DATA ARE CONSIDERED INSUFFICIENT TO ESTABLISH THE MERIT OF THE INSULATION, BUT INDICATE THAT THE EFFECTS TEND TO BE BENEFICIAL.
