Bridge MaintenanCE: 1
1. For steel bridge structure, the routine
maintenance calls for cleaning by
flame or other means of
sandblasting,
repainting.
Bridge MaintenanCE: 2
6. Most bridges maintenance is considered specialized
work.
7. Concrete bridge decks normally deteriorate due to
deicing salts.
8. Correction is to remove the concret, clean the steel and
apply new materials such as polymer concrete.
9. Sometimes, seal-out overlay of asphalt materials are
used as protective covering.

10. Check the bridge deck deterioration by:
a. Applying waterproof membranes.
b. Applying latex modified concrete.
c. Impregnating the deck with polymers.
d. Passing electric current through reinforcing
steel.
11. If decks are dismantled, an epoxy coated reinforcing
steel may be used.

Resurfacing
It is the addition of pavement layer over the existing
roadway or bridge deck surface to provide additional
capacity.
Note :
The additional re-surface pavement should not be less than
20 mm in thickness.

This refers to actions that are corrective or
preventive.
