Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Monitoring the durability of concrete bridges has become relative common in the last decade. The objectives and potentials of this monitoring have not always been comprehensively stated or underst and this has frequently lead to projects that have not satisfied client. The Gimsoeystraumen Bridge Repair Project linked research technical development to the actual repair work of the bridge. Du the project, it was attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of different repair/preventative maintenance techniques by instrumentation. Climatic loading and the corresponding response material properties were monitored by electrochemical and non-electrochemical techniques. The paper presents some conclusio from the Gimsoeystraumen project and a discussion concerning the place of durability monitoring in a bridge management system. Fo the covering abstract see ITRD E117314.
