Abstract:

Delamination is probably the most serious form of deterioration which is commonly found in bridge decks. It ultimately results in large scale spalling necessitating costly repairs. This type of failure is believed to be caused chiefly from salt induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. An instrument designed to detect delamination, and tests conducted to validate its performance, are briefly described. The instrument has been used by Texas Highway Department maintenance personnel and has been found to be an effective and practical tool, especially on resurfaced decks.
