BenefitsThe deterioration of constructed bridges is one of the most critical problems facing the infrastructure of the
United States. According to a recent survey (
ASCE 2005), an overall grade of D has been given to our infrastructure systems. Typical sources of bridge deterioration include increased live load, environmental attack and physical damage such as collision of heavy trucks. This teleconference presents an overview of the performance evaluation and rehabilitation of constructed bridges from elementary concepts to advanced topics. The technical contents will include detailed evaluation techniques, a review of the code provisions, and rehabilitation methods with conventional construction materials and advanced composite materials such as fiber reinforced polymer. Life cycling engineering and costing will be discussed. A case study will be provided to better understand the state-of-the-art rehabilitation technologies. The teleconference is particularly designed to provide an overview of the evaluation of existing bridges and state-of-the-art rehabilitation technologies.
