The primary objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive literature review to determine causes of concrete biodeterioration and to present current practices employed or evaluated for cleaning and maintaining vertical concrete elements on bridges. The goal of this review was to identify possible preventive maintenance alternatives or construction materials that will enhance the resistance of these structures to biofilm growth and in turn reduce labor, costs, and traveling time delays.
