Abstract:

State Departments of Transportation (DOT’s) are continually looking for cost effective ; products and processes to extend the life of any number of transportation related products. ; Salt splash and leakage from bridge joints are the cause of a significant am ; ount of spalling, ; cracking, and deterioration affecting the structural integrity of bridges around the state. This ; damage applied to bridge columns for example, deteriorates the confining effects necessary ; to counter compressive forces. A common approach ; in addressing this problem is encasing ; the column in an outer diameter of new concrete, usually approximately ; twelve inches ; thick. ; The solution has been effective, but expensive. Rather than employ a standard concrete ; encasement, in June of 1994 the Vermont Agency of Transportation applied TYFO S ; Fibrwrap to columns of the first pier of Bridge #60 in Williston while rehabili ; tating the bridge. ; Based on performance observations conducted by the Agency, TYFO S Fibrwrap appears to ; be a viable alternative to concrete encasement as a rehabilitative method for concrete bridge ; columns
