In order to improve bridges durability, this paper designed a kind of bridge deck with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bar reinforced concrete deck, which is salt and corrosion resistant. Through model test, the relationship between load and displacement, ultimate flexural capacity, stress distribution of CFRP bars, concrete strain distribution of the new bridge deck with different CFRP ratio was investigated. New bridge decks present characteristics of partial plastic failure, has similar structure strain trends and stress distribution compared with steel reinforced concrete decks, and accord with plane section assumption. The bond force, between CFRP bar and concrete, controll the flexural capacity of new bridge decks.

Prestressed Structures

By numerical simulation and contrasting with experimental conclusions, mechanical models in every loading stage of CFRP reinforced concrete bridge deck were established. The results showed that, numerical simulation results of non-prestressed bridge decks fitted corresponding test results well. The stiffness of prestressed structures had been greatly improved than non-prestressed structures, so the high strength performance of CFRP had been used more effectively.

Delayed Exposure

The paper is focused on the model of the effect of delayed chloride exposure on the chloride induced corrosion initiation on ideal reinforced concrete bridge. The Finite Element-based numerical model is applied. The effect of concrete quality is expressed in the form of time dependent diffusion coefficient in order to evaluate the effect of concrete type as well as the effect of aging. The influence of extended chloride exposure on the corrosion initiation is introduced.

Abstract: Cracking in reinforced concrete bridge decks is a massively concern in the India. Many concrete bridge decks, inobservant to the age of construction, have shown different levels and patterns of cracking. Not only does cracking of bridge decks weaken the bridge infrastructure, but also allows the inflow of corrosive agents into the reinforcement. In this study, the crack width evaluation of RC bridge deck of span of 5 m. and 9 m. is based on equations given by IRS Concrete Bridge Code 1997 for different cases like- the effect of depth variation, reinforcement diameter, clear cover, variation in live load moment, spacing of tension reinforcement and different no. of tension reinforcement bar to constant width for the same crosssection. This study concluded that crack width increases with increase in clear cover, variation in live load moment and spacing of tension reinforcement while it decreases with increase in reinforcement diameter, depth of the bridge deck and number of reinforced bars and percentage change evaluation of different parameter of 5m and 9m span bridge deck.

The contribution focuses on the effect of selected input parameters on probabilistic estimation of chloride induced reinforced concrete bridge deck corrosion initiation. The reinforced concrete bridge deck with steel protected by epoxy-coating is considered. A finite element diffusion model in conjunction with a probabilistic method using Monte Carlo technique is used to address the inherited randomness of input variables. Presented parametric study shows the sensitivity of estimation of the corrosion initiation likelihood on variation of input parameters.

Concrete Bridge Deck

The corrosion of reinforcement embedded in concrete bridge deck slabs has been the cause of major deterioration and of high costs in repair and maintenance. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) exhibit high durability in combination with high strength and light weight. The majority of research with FRP bars for reinforcing concrete has been on simply supported beams and slabs where the low value of elasticity of FRP has meant that the service behaviour has been critical. These differences have been attributed to the low value of elasticity of many FRPs compared to steel. However, laterally restrained slabs, such as those in bridge deck slabs, exhibit arching action or compressive membrane action (CMA), which has a beneficial influence on the service behaviour such as the deflection. Based on the previous research on CMA in steel reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs, a modified theoretical method were established according to the material properties of GFRP reinforcement. The proposed prediction method showed a good collection of some reported GFRP reinforced slabs experimental tests.
