Abstract:

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) bridge inventory is rapidly aging. As such, the Cabinet ; needs to identify and implement relevant preventative maintenance (PM) actions to extend the useful ; service lives of those structures. Maintenance actions, costs, and application interval/repair durability ; information have been obtained for both cyclical and condition-based bridge PM. Additionally, ; information rehabilitation actions were acquired from a regional DOT survey and from other literature. As ; part of this study, the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) researchers monitored a KYTC bridge ; washing project to assess its level of effectiveness and to identify potential improvements. Based upon ; these tasks, recommended guidance was provided to KYTC for use when implementing bridge PM ; programs. The guidance includes a discussion of critical PM activities, strategies to adopt training and ; work documents (i.e., special notes) for contract work, and the implementation of work standards/special ; operating procedures for work performed by KYTC personnel. This report also includes details on the ; tools and training KYTC district-level personnel will need and outlines a roadmap for conducting pilot ; programmatic PM work in several districts.
