Download or read book Concrete Bridge Protection, Repair, and Rehabilitation Relative to Reinforcement Corrosion written by Richard E. Weyers and published by Strategic Highway Research Program (Shrp). This book was released on 1993 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is a practical guide for state highway agency personnel who are faced with the day-to-day task of cost-effectively protecting repairing, and rehabilitating concrete bridges exposed to chloride laden environments. The manual addresses the chloride induced corrosion of reinforcing steel. Methods are presented to estimate the service life and remaining service life of concrete bridge components. Economic models are presented to enable selection of the most cost effective methods. These methods include standard physical, chemical, and experimental protection, repair, and rehabilitation. Also, rapid bridge deck protection, repair, and rehabilitation methods are presented. Two mechanized concrete removal methods, milling and hydrodemolition, are compared to the traditional method, pneumatic breakers. The advantages of combining the strengths of the three removal methods are also presented.
