2274 - Development of Concrete Mixtures to Mitigate Bridge Deck Cracking, Validated Using 3D Bridge Deck Surface Evaluations
项目名称: 2274 - Development of Concrete Mixtures to Mitigate Bridge Deck Cracking, Validated Using 3D Bridge Deck Surface Evaluations
摘要: Cracking in concrete is a significant threat to the long term durability of a bridge deck. These cracks allow outside chemicals direct access to the reinforcing steel within the bridge. These outside chemicals can then cause corrosion, which will in turn cause more cracking and will again lead to penetration of more outside chemicals. In addition to corrosion, these cracks can cause or exacerbate many other deterioration mechanisms, including freeze thaw, alkali-silica reaction, and sulfate attack. Cracking of concrete can cause a vicious cycle that can quickly shorten the life of a bridge. The goals of this project are to use a number of different technologies to help reduce cracking in Oklahoma bridges with economical and practical solutions. It is anticipated that this research will help bring crack-resistant concrete to Oklahoma bridges. This research will not only be completed in the laboratory, but will also be implemented and then evaluated in the field. Furthermore, a specification will be developed that will help the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to implement these technologies on their bridges.
