Prospects of application of cement concrete coating on transport buildings
Introduction. Road bridges are an integral part of the road network of transport infrastructure of Ukraine. The technical condition of the vast majority of road bridges does not meet modern requirements for road safety and structural reliability of structural elements.Problems. There are no recommendations for the design and installation of cement-concrete pavement on the reinforced concrete slab of the carriageway of road bridges, as well as an album of standard solutions of such structures.Goal. Analysis of the causes and types of cracking on cement concrete pavement, technical literature and current regulations on the calculation of crack resistance and durability of cement concrete pavement on the reinforced concrete slab of the carriageway of road bridges.Results. The analysis of application of a cement concrete covering on transport constructions is carried out. The causes and types of crack formation on cement-concrete pavement are established. The analysis of technical literature and current normative documentation on calculation of crack resistance and durability of cement concrete pavement on the reinforced concrete slab of road bridges is carried out.Conclusions. The analysis of prospects of application of a cement concrete covering on transport constructions is carried out in work.Keywords: road bridge, durability, reinforced concrete slab, crack formation, carriageway, crack resistance, cement concrete pavement
