Abstract:

Bridge deck cracking reduces serviceability and lifespan of bridges. Early age cracking can typically be attributed to either of two factors: 1) construction practices and 2) concrete shrinkage. The Arkansas Department of Transportation ARDOT has identified a disproportionate number of continuous steel girder bridges experiencing early age bridge deck cracking that were constructed using a continuous deck pour.
