REHABILITATION OF AN ELEVATED ROADWAY BRIDGE

The rehabilitation is described of the bridge on the elevated roadway at Baltimore/Washington International Airport. The bridge superstructure is supported by 152 concrete columns and two abutments on spread footings. Details of the bridge are described, as well as the field inspection which was the first phase of the project. The testing program and test results are described. It is noted the most important factor in selecting methods and materials for repair is the compatibility of the existing concrete and the new materials. The details are given of the repair of spalls along the expansion joints, repair of cracks, and repair of expansion joints. Conclusions drawn from the experience are noted.
