EXPERIENCES WITH ORTHOTROPIC STEEL DECK AND CABLE STAYED BRIDGES

EXPERIENCES AVEC TABLIERS EN DALLE ORTHOTROPE ET PONTS A HAUBANS

A survey is made of some important aspects related to maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of orthotropic steel deck and cable stayed steel bridges. Thermal effects due to machine laid resurfacing of orthotropic steel decks can no longer be neglected. Information is presented as an aid to diagnose such effects. The need for inspecting cables and for provisions for replacement of cables is emphasized, and methods for improved corrosion protection of cables are briefly described.
