Abstract:The objective of this research is to provide the implementation roadmaps for the recommendations proposed in Phase I to enhance
the capability and robustness of the current waterproofing system in District 10-0 of PennDOT. Built upon the results obtained in the
numerical simulations and experimental characterizations, the research team developed the necessary implementation guidance
for practice.
The developed implementation roadmaps include improving the design of abutment/beam adjunction, using crystalline waterstops
for construction joints and old-new concrete interfaces, building an overlap in the waterproofing membrane to mitigate the
delamination risk at the location of beam seat, reinforcing elastomeric concrete to produce stronger and more durable header
materials for expansion joints, and designing a sensoring system to monitor the movement of expansion joints as well as to detect
the water leakage.
