摘要: |
This study was initiated in order to prevent the early failure of paint systems on steel bridge surfaces and to ensure public safety and health. The purpose of this research was to develop a policy to facilitate INDOT personnel in selecting a proper paint system and to generate cost effective plans for efficiently maintaining the protection of paint systems on the surface of INDOT's steel bridges. The research project was also broken down into the following specific objectives: (1) To identify the specific paint systems that are successfully used in surrounding states, and other industries; (2) To evaluate the identified paint systems; (3) To review paint systems coated on the existing INDOT steel bridgs; (4) To assess alternative strategies for full-removal, over-coating, and metalization; (5) To perform life cycle cost analysis painting systems that INDOT currently use as well as on potential alternative systems; (6) To develop efficient painting maintenance plans; (7) To explore the feasibility of using warranty clauses in INDOT painting contracts in order to improve quality and contractor accountability; (8) To conduct inspector training sessions for applying the findings found in the research into daily procedure. |
