Use of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete for Bridge Deck Overlays

The most common bridge deterioration begins with cracking in the deck followed by water and chloride infiltration into the concrete core and corrosion damage to the reinforcement of the deck. Further damage to bridge deck occurs due to freeze-thaw cycles, exposure to deicing salts, and dynamic loads from vehicular traffic and plow trucks. Cracking on bridge decks is common, and bridge deck deterioration is a leading cause of structurally obsolete or deficient inspection ratings.
