BRIDGE DECK DETERIORATION: A SUMMARY OF REPORTS

AN ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED DETECTOR WAS DEVELOPED WHICH MAPS THE DELAMINATED AREA OF CONCRETE ON A BRIDGE DECK. MATERIALS FOR SURFACE TREATMENT OF CONCRETE BRIDGE DECKS WERE TESTED AS DETERRENTS TO FREEZE-THAW SCALING DAMAGE. AIR ENTRAINED CONCRETE WAS FOUND TO BE THE MOST RESISTANT TO FREEZE-THAW SCALING, AND A MIXTURE OF LINSEED OIL AND KEROSENE WAS FOUND TO BE EFFECTIVE IN COMBATING FREEZE-THAW DAMAGE AT A RELATIVELY LOW COST. MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR REPAIRING DECKS WITH ONE-AND-ONE-HALF-INCH TO TWO-INCH THICK CONCRETE OVERLAYS WERE DEVELOPED, TESTED, AND PROVED IN FIELD INSTALLATIONS.
