• Abstract:
  This report describes a full-size field demonstration of a rapid bridge deck replacement concept put forward several years ago. The concept was to utilize a sand mortar made with a rapid setting epoxy to provide the shear tie between precast concrete deck panels and existing steel stringer beams. The demonstration site was a 50 ft simple span that serves as part of the SPUR 326 overpass over the AT&SF railroad tracks in downtown Lubbock, Texas. The demonstration bridge is one of two identical bridges, side-by-side; the other was redecked using a conventional poured-in-place technique.
