Abstract :
Many bridge inspection results shows that serious concrete spalling has occurred in the field-cast bridge deck after the bridge was put into use for couples of years. Some of them even perforated and influence the normal operation of the bridge. Some bridge decks continue to deteriorate after repairment. The paper does some research on damage mechanism and evaluation for field-cast bridge decks.
