Project description

The objective of this research is to support new bridge deck research associated with construction of the West Davis Corridor highway project in northern Utah, where minimizing cracking of new concrete bridge decks is a high priority. Specifically, the work will complement and extend research activities already underway by the team of national experts. The main research will occur in two phases, one involving coring and analysis of existing bridge decks (not on the WDC project) and the other involving construction monitoring and inspection of new bridge decks on the WDC project. An additional research phase was added to monitor deck cracking for selected bridges on the WDC project after construction for a period of three years.
