Strength Evaluation of Existing Concrete Bridges
Also Known As:
ACI SP-88:1985 standard covers a range of topics related to assessing the strength of concrete bridge structures. These include methods for condition survey, analytical investigation techniques like finite element analysis and modified compression field theory, in situ load testing, laboratory modeling and testing, deflection measurement methods, remote sensing techniques, and a strategy for rating older concrete bridges.
The standard includes case histories of various projects, showcasing real-world examples and applications of the strength evaluation methods.
The table of contents provides a glimpse into the specific topics covered in the standard, such as evaluating the strength of bridge piers, load testing on prestressed concrete bridge decks, structural performance and bending tests on deteriorated reinforced concrete bridges, in situ load testing of concrete bridges in Switzerland, design considerations for box girder bridges, and evaluation of composite deck panel systems in bridges. Other topics include shear strength evaluation, deflection measurement methods, and remote sensing techniques applied to bridge deck evaluation.
