EFFECTS OF TRAFFIC INDUCED VIBRATIONS ON BRIDGE DECK REPAIRS

The effects of traffic induced vibrations on concrete-steel bond strength and concrete compressive strength was studied for full depth repairs of reinforced concrete bridge decks. The specimens had blockouts to represent full depth patch repair areas. Two bar sizes, two top covers, and four slumps were used. The bond tests used modified cantilever specimens. Standard 6 in. x 12 in. cylinders were used for the study of the effect of traffic induced vibrations on compressive strength.
