Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report illustrates and evaluates the first use in Virginia of precast concrete replacement slabs for bridge decks. It shows that a bridge deck can be replaced with the precast slabs while traffic is maintained in the adjacent traffic lane. The quality of the prototype deck appears to be comparable to that of a conventional site-cast deck and, although a conventional deck could be constructed for slightly less money, the new design offers the advantage of reduced on-site construction time that would be worth the added cost in many situations.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature review concerning the objectives of the project was completed. A significant number of published papers, reports, etc., were examined to determine the effectiveness of full depth precast panels for bridge deck replacement. A detailed description of the experimental methodology was developed which includes design and fabrication of the panels and assembly of the bridge. The design and construction process was carried out in cooperation with the project Technical Review Panel. The major components of the bridge deck system were investigated. This includes the transverse joints and the different materials within the joint as well as composite action. The materials investigated within the joint were polymer concrete, non-shrink grout, and set-45 for the transverse joint. The transverse joints were subjected to direct shear tests, direct tension tests, and flexure tests. These tests exhibited the excellent behavior of the system in terms of strength and failure modes. Shear key tests were also conducted. The shear connection study focused on investigating the composite behavior of the system based on varying the number of shear studs within a respective pocket as well as varying the number of pockets within a respective panel. The results indicated that this shear connection is extremely efficient in rendering the system under full composite action. Finite element analysis was conducted to determine the behavior of the shear connection prior to initiation of the actual full scale tests. In addition, finite element analysis was also performed with respect to the transverse joint tests in an effort to determine the behavior of the joints prior to actual testing. The most significant phase of the project was testing a full-scale model. The bridge was assembled in accordance with the procedures developed as part of the study on full-depth precast panels and the results obtained through this research. The system proved its effectiveness in withstanding the applied loading that exceeded eight times the truck loading in addition to the maximum negative and positive moment application. Only hairline cracking was observed in the deck at the maximum applied load. Of most significance was the fact that full composite action was achieved between the precast panels and the steel supporting system, and the exceptional performance of the transverse joint between adjacent panels.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is the consequence of a research effort undertaken by the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University and funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The principal objective of the effort was to reduce the life cycle cost of bridges by developing one or more materials systems for precast and pre-stressed bridge deck components that improve the studded tire wear (abrasion) resistance and durability of bridge decks. Degradation of the concrete bridge decks due to abrasion caused by the studded tires and accelerated corrosion of the reinforcing steel in the concrete often triggers costly, premature rehabilitation or replacement of these bridges. High performance concrete (HPC) can provide improved abrasion resistance, but is more costly than ordinary concrete and can exhibit early age cracking when used for cast-in-place concrete members, which can accelerate corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel. However, several studies have suggested that HPC developed for precast members offers a viable alternative to cast-in-place concrete deck slabs due in part to improved control of the curing process. The scope of this research was to develop one or more mixture designs for HPC that improve the durability and abrasion resistance of the bridge decks through careful selection and proper proportioning of the constituent materials and improved control of the curing process. The materials investigated in this research included silica fume, slag, and fly ash as partial replacement of Type I and Type III portland cement mixed with crushed aggregate and river gravel. Phase I of the study included development of 15 mixture designs incorporating various combinations of the materials. Mixtures were cast under controlled laboratory conditions and cured using a variety of methods. The results of tests conducted on the cured samples indicated that the mixture with silica fume and slag had greater strength than the mixture with silica fume and fly ash mixture, and that mixtures with crushed rock provided better abrasion resistance than those with river gravel. Results from the chloride ion penetration test for permeability indicated that mixtures cured in saturated lime water for 28 days exhibited reduced permeability in comparison to mixtures which were steam cured followed by ambient curing. Following phase I, a pilot study was undertaken to identify the best curing method to apply during production at precast yards to assist high early strength gain so that the concrete member can be removed from the casting bed in a matter of several hours as well as to facilitate high ultimate strength, improved abrasion resistance, and low permeability. The pilot study indicated the best curing method to be steam curing followed by application of a curing compound. Phase II of the research study included seven mix designs and focused on various levels of supplementary cementitious materials. It adopted the curing method suggested by the pilot study. Results from phase II indicated that slag was better in enhancing durability of the concrete than fly ash. Increasing the proportion of silica fume did not improve the properties of high performance concrete significantly. Some other interesting results indicated that compressive strength was inversely proportional to wear rate and chloride ion penetration. Wear rate was directly proportional to chloride ion penetration. There was no relationship between durability factor (freeze-thaw test) and compressive strength or chloride ion penetration. Two mixtures were identified as having significantly improved abrasion and permeability characteristics over the control mixture (ODOT bridge deck mixture). Both included slag and silica fume as supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement of portland cement and one did not contain an air entraining admixture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a full-size field demonstration of a rapid bridge deck replacement concept put forward several years ago. The concept was to utilize a sand mortar made with a rapid setting epoxy to provide the shear tie between precast concrete deck panels and existing steel stringer beams. The demonstration site was a 50 ft simple span that serves as part of the SPUR 326 overpass over the AT & SF railroad tracks in downtown Lubbock, Texas. The demonstration bridge is one of two identical bridges, side-by-side; the other was redecked using a conventional poured-in-place technique. Eight precast panels, each 6 ft 3 in. x 45 ft x 8 in., were used to form the experimental deck. Each panel was cast with blockouts (holes) positioned directly over the supporting steel beams. When the original concrete deck was removed, the steel shear studs were cut away leaving the top of the flanges of the steel beams clean and flat. The precast panels were then positioned atop of the steel in an operation lasting less than 5 hours, the new steel studs were welded into place through the blockouts in about 4 hours, and then the panels were epoxied into place in less than 2 full working days.
