Factors Affecting the Durability of Concrete Bridge Decks: Normal vs. Thickened Deck
The decks of highway structures are occasionally thickened to accommodate heavy earthmoving construction equipment. Often these decks are not exposed to greater than legal loads. The cracking pattern in 16 decks which were thickened but were not exposed to greater than legal loads was recorded and compared with the cracking pattern in an equal number of parallel structures with decks of normal thickness. The comparison was made using a Crack Index which was calculated for each structure. (Author Modified Abstract)
