Prestressed Concrete Bridges - Condition Assessment and Future Challenges : A State-of-Art Report
Prestressed concrete bridges are susceptible to deterioration over time and it is vital to continually assess them in order to maintain their structural integrity and to prolong their service life. Important factors are corrosion of prestressing strands, wires and bars; remaining prestressing forces and concrete deterioration. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in monitoring and non-destructive testing to assess the state of bridges. It is essential to understand the behavior in ultimate and serviceability limit states and the level of safety, reliability and robustness. Calibration of Condition and Life Cycle Assessments are discussed by help of Full-Scale Tests of Bridges that are planned to be demolished. Repair and Strengthening methods are reviewed. Needs for Maintenance Strategies are outlined. ; Trafikverkets Forskningsområde: BBT Projekt 2017-011
