• 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.
