• Abstract:
  To prevent deterioration of a bridge condition leading to structural deficiency through corrosive actions, choosing and applying a suitable coating system on the steel bridge surfaces are very important. Moreover, it can further protect the painted bridges to use explicit contract wording to warrant the quality of bridge painting work after the substantial completion of the painting project. This study is intended to further develop warranty clauses and computerized image processing system previously used on an INDOT steel bridge painting demonstration project. The study found eleven elements essential for the successful warranty contract application. They are: warranty period, defects definition, inspection schedule, repair procedure and progress schedule for correction work, season of work.
