Bridge Deck Drainage: Evaluation of KDOT’s Current Design Guidance
| 项目名称： | Bridge Deck Drainage: Evaluation of KDOT’s Current Design Guidance |
| 摘要： | Proper drainage of bridge decks is essential for safe travel and bridge sustainability. Poor drainage can cause water to spread onto driving lanes, which increases the risk of hydroplaning, ice formation, and frequent clogging. Poor drain details can cause maintenance problems. There is potential to reduce the likelihood of future deck drainage problems on new bridges by evaluating and updating Kansas Department of Transportation's (KDOT’s) current design guidelines. This work could lead to an improved and simplified procedure for the design of bridge deck drainage and has the potential for increased efficiency thus requiring fewer inlets and providing cost savings to bridge construction and maintenance. |
