Rethinking Bridge Deck Longevity and Maintenance with Portland Cement Polymer Concrete by Andrew P. Agosto Pdf

Bridge deck deterioration in the northern Midwest creates significant costs to state Departments of Transportation (DOT's) in the region. The fundamental cause of the problem is low tensile strength and water permeable reinforced concrete resulting in deck cracking and ultimately reinforcing bar corrosion. Portland Cement Polymer Concrete (PCPC) combined with a design approach tailored to its advantages could virtually eliminate early deck deterioration and the associated costs providing an alternative asset management path for bridge decks. Bridge decks would no longer have to be removed from their substructure every fifteen years and replaced. The results would be higher quality, longer lasting bridge decks with lower life cycle costs. This project will demonstrate the feasibility and methodology of such a strategy. This project will develop a strategy that combines innovative concrete materials, novel design and cost analysis that enhances the longevity and reduces the life cycle cost of highway bridge decks. The project is expected to show significant life-cycle cost advantages to using a high performance bridge deck material.

High-Performance Concrete Bridge Decks: A Fast-Track Implementation Study, Volume 2: Materials by Mateusz Radlinski,Jan Olek Pdf

The purpose of this research was to examine the applicability of ternary binder systems containing ordinary portland cement (OPC), class C fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) for bridge deck concrete. This was accomplished in two parts, the laboratory part and a field application part. During the laboratory studies, four ternary mixtures, each containing either 20% or 30% FA and either 5% or 7% SF were subjected to four different curing regimes (air drying, 7 days curing compound application and 3 or 7 days wet burlap curing). In general, all four ternary mixtures exhibited very good water and chloride solution transport-controlling properties (resistance to chloride-ion penetration, chloride diffusivity and rate of water absorption). However, it was concluded that in order to ensure adequate strength, good freezing and thawing resistance, satisfactory resistance to salt scaling, and adequate shrinkage cracking resistance the FA content should not exceed 20%, SF content should not exceed 5% (by total mass of binder) and paste content should be kept below 24% by volume of concrete. Further, wet burlap curing for a minimum of 3 days was required to achieve satisfactory performance and to obtain a reliable assessment of in-situ compressive strength (up to 28 days) using maturity method. The second part of this research examined the performance of ternary concrete containing 20% FA and 5% SF in the pilot HPC bridge deck constructed in northern Indiana. Using maturity method developed for the purpose of this study, it was determined that the unexpectedly high RCP values of concrete placed late in the construction season were mostly attributed to low ambient temperature. Additional applications of the developed maturity method were also demonstrated. These include assessment of risk of scaling and reduction in time to corrosion initiation as a function of construction date, as well as estimation of long-term RCP values of concrete subjected to accelerated curing.

Continually increasing demands on infrastructures mean that maintenance and renewal require timely, appropriate action that maximizes benefits while minimizing cost. To be as well informed as possible, decision-makers must have an optimal understanding of an infrastructure’s condition—what it is now, and what it is expected to be in the future. Written by two highly respected engineers, the second volume, Infrastructure Health in Civil Engineering: Applications and Management, integrates the decision making concept into theoretical and practical issues. It covers: State-of-the-art practice and future directions Use of probability and statistics in areas including structural modeling Specific practical applications, including retrofitting and rehabilitation in response to earthquake damage, corrosion, fatigue, and bridge security Use of IHCE for management and maintenance of different types of structures using pre-stressed and reinforced concrete, and fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) Numerous practical case studies, as well as coverage of the latest techniques in the use of sensors for damage detection and load testing Built to correspond to the ideas presented in its companion volume, Theory and Components, this is an invaluable guide to optimized, cost-saving methods that will help readers meet safety specifications for new projects, as well as the aging infrastructure at great risk of failure.
