• Abstract:
  A field survey was conducted to evaluate the performances of Texas highway bridges with continuous decks and to compare those performances with comparable bridges with noncontinuous decks. The visual inspections were geographically distributed over the entire state to account for different climatic conditions found in the state. Bridges with continuous steel girders, reinforced concrete pan formed girded, prestressed concrete simple girders, and prestressed concrete girders made continuous for live load made up the sample of 257 bridges.
