Life-Cycle Deterioration Models for Concrete Deck Slabs
The causes of deck deterioration include: poor material properties (shrinkage), inadequate pouring procedures, freeze and thaw cycles, truck load spectra (axle loads and groups of axles), fatigue and degradation of concrete under compressive load cycles, corrosion of rebars and usage of deicing chemicals. Various stages of deterioration have been observed (over 50 bridges) and documented. This data serves as a basis for the development of deck performance models as a function of age, type of concrete and traffic volume. Bridge Inventory Data is used to model changes of deck rating during the service years.
