CONDITION EVALUATION OF CONCRETE BRIDGES RELATIVE TO REINFORCEMENT CORROSION. VOLUME 8: PROCEDURE MANUAL

P D Cady, E J Gannon

Open publisher page 13 citations

Abstract

A procedure is presented for the condition assessment of concrete bridge components. It is based on a rational integration of 13 applicable, current test methods or procedures with 7 newly developed methods. The selection of the current methods is detailed in Volume 1 of this report, and the developement of the 7 new procedures is presentted in Volumes 2 through 7. While The primary emphasis is on deterioration associated with chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel, all aspects of durability relative to concrete bridge components are addressed. The procedure is designed to be flexible and amenable to tailoring to suit the needs of the individual highway agency.
