• Abstract:
  This paper presents a summary of knowledge gained by the NYSDOT Bridge Deck Task Force (BDTF). Although the paper contains recommendations to reduce the prevalence and severity of bridge deck cracking, it does not include a ‘silver bullet’ solution. There are discussions concerning cracking of the concrete wearing surface on prestressed concrete box girders, transverse cracking of concrete decks on steel girders, factors that influence concrete deck cracking, and methods of treating existing cracks in bridge decks. To limit the number of variables in the data, the study was limited to single span structures. Cracking of multi-span continuous structures was not included.
