REHABILITATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGE DECKS. FINAL REPORT

This is the fourth, and final, report in a series on reinforced concrete bridge decks resulting from a three-year study conducted for the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSH&TD). This fourth report deals primarily with the deck condition survey and its use in the selection of a bridge deck rehabilitation method. Background materials, contained in the previous three reports, is summarized. This includes information on protective systems to mitigate deck deterioration; the feasibility of a bridge deck management system for use in establishing rehabilitation priorities; and results of a chloride ponding test on concrete core samples from selected NMSH&TD bridge decks to investigate the effectiveness of various protective systems. Conclusions based on the results of the three-year study are presented and two related studies are proposed.
