EVALUATION OF THE REYNOLDS ALUMINUM ORTHOTROPIC BRIDGE DECK SYSTEM, CORBIN BRIDGE APPLICATION

The purpose of this project was the rehabilitation of the Corbin Bridge in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The project consisted of replacing the deck with the Reynolds Orthotropic Bridge Deck System. The rehabilitation of the bridge increased the posted load rating from 7 tons to 24 tons by replacing the steel deck with an aluminum deck while strengthening parts of the existing steel members. Satisfactory performance required that the deflections be within design limits and no visual distress present. This report is a combination Construction and Final Performance Report for evaluation of the structure rehabilitated in 1996.
