Title: MAINTENANCE OF CONCRETE BRIDGES
Accession Number: 00815877
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Find a library where document is available Abstract: The principal reason concrete bridges deteriorate is that the reinforcement is damaged by chloride-induced corrosion. Effective maintenance, for the most part, involves activities designed to keep chlorides away from the reinforcement. Six maintenance activities help accomplish this goal: flushing debris and chlorides from decks and pier caps annually, repairing and sealing joints, sealing cracks, patching potholes, replacing the membrane if replacing an asphalt overlay, and installing low-permeability overlays.
