BRIDGE DECKS CONSTRUCTED FOR INCREASED DURABILITY
The experimental features incorporated in this study were compaction, brooming, and bi-layered construction. Broomed surfaces initially exhibited a higher skidding resistance than non-broomed surfaces: broomed surfaces, however, wear more rapidly. No conclusive evaluation could be made at this time of the bilayered system and of tests made on the concrete cores. Electrical measurements made on the decks indicated there was no active corrosion of the steel.
