NTL-HIGHWAY/ROAD TRANSPORTATION-Bridges and Structures
Abstract:
The Montana Department of Transportation Research Bureau, in conjunction with the Bridge Bureau, conducted a feasibility study to report on the possible purchase or development of a bridge deck rehabilitation analysis system, possibly software, to improve the accuracy and cost efficiency of the analysis process. The desired system would use life cycle cost analysis to determine the best deck repair/replace option, as well as the optimum timing of the work. A literature search of possible models or systems was done, but no appropriate systems were found. The state of the art was reviewed, and it was concluded that such a system could be developed in a manner that would have an excellent benefit:cost ratio.
The use of modular bridge deck components has the potential to produce higher quality, more durable bridge decks; however, the required connections ha...
