Pdf Summary
This paper discusses the findings from a field investigation on the performance of bridge deck panels in various states across the US. It highlights the conditions of several bridges and identifies issues such as cracking, leaking, and spalling. The study concludes that proper design and maintenance practices are crucial to ensure the long-term success of precast concrete panels for bridge deck reconstruction. Additionally, a separate study conducted by the University of Illinois at Chicago concludes that precast concrete panels are an efficient and economical solution for replacing deteriorated bridge decks. The study provides recommendations for the design and construction of these panels, including the use of shear studs, post-tensioning, and waterproofing membrane systems. Regular maintenance is also emphasized to ensure the longevity of precast concrete panels.
