An electrically conductive asphalt concrete was made by substituting coke breeze for the natural aggregate. Paving a bridge deck with the electrically conductive asphalt concrete indicated that cathodic protection could be applied to the reinforcing steel. The cathodic protection was measured to be effective when the corrosion of steel strips embedded in concrete containing 10 percent calcium chloride by weight of the cement was stopped.

ISBN:

Four delaminated bridges were epoxy injected and compared to noninjected bridges so that information on delamination repair durability, frequency, and costs could be collected. The injection history, cores, and condition reports for each bridge demonstrated that the plane of delamination once repaired, stayed repaired, but a new delamination may form above, below or adjacent to the one repaired, yet the deck surface remained intact even when the frequency of repair was once every three or four years.
