Prevention of Cracks in Concrete Bridge Decks. Summary Report
Transverse cracking in newly constructed concrete bridge decks is a concern in Pennsylvania. Cracks in concrete bridge decks can cause deterioration and affect the service life. The research reported herein focuses on the effects of aggregate type, cement source, and fly ash on shrinkage. The research examined existing bridge decks, observed construction techniques, field tested concrete, and performed laboratory experiments on concrete. The research also examined type K cement and placing the transverse bars on top of longitudinal bars to control cracking. The results show the significant effects of mix ingredients on shrinkage.
