Rigid concrete overlays have been used for smoothing damaged surfaces and/or restoring
or improving the mechanical capacity of bridge decks for many years. However, engineered …

The use of rigid overlays has become increasingly popular. The main purpose of an overlay
is to extend the service life of the structure and increase the structural performance and …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is one of the contemporary overlay materials for
repairing and retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) members. It possesses excellent …

The major factors that lead to the deterioration of the bridge deck include exposure to the
severe environment, traffic loads, and deicing salts. The search for methods to extend the …

The service life of bonded overlay materials used for bridge deck rehabilitation is affected by
shrinkage of the overlay and bond between the overlay and substrate. There is a growing …

Critical components of the nation's bridge network, concrete bridge decks, are deteriorating
at a rapid rate. This deterioration can be attributed to several factors; however, winter salt …

The influence of substrate moisture preparation on the direct shear bond strength of
composite substrate-overlay specimens was evaluated. The substrate surface was exposed …

This paper aims to characterize the bond behavior and performance of UHPC-class
materials as overlays on bridge deck concrete substrates. The study includes laboratory …

Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cementitious material which has
excellent mechanical and durability properties, making it appropriate for the rehabilitation of …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), possessing excellent mechanical properties, can
be used as an excellent material to repair or strengthen the reinforced concrete structural …
