Abstract:
Degradation of bridge substructure members in Wisconsin is a serious concern. Concrete, steel and timber members all require distinct repair methods which not only address the true cause of the deterioration, but also protect the members from future damage. Deterioration of bridge substructure members in Wisconsin has been caused by deicing chemicals, the cycle of wetting and drying, scour, erosion, improper design and many other damaging processes. Utilizing repair techniques that merely address the effect of the deterioration has proven costly and unreliable. Understanding the relationship between cost and service life of modern repair methods can help maintenance engineers make informed decisions that will maximize efficacy.
Deterioration of bridge substructures has been a serious concern throughout Wisconsin. Concrete, steel andtimber components all require distinct repai...
The objective of this study was to expand and improve a rapid channel stability assessment method developed previously by Johnson et al. to include ad...
