Scientific Investigation On Eight (8) Concrete Bridge Decks: Precise Crack Mapping, NDT, Assessment and Repair Solutions
Project Scope
Inspection and scientific investigation on Eight (8) concrete bridge decks in order to identify the cause/s of the cracked bridge decks and to assess their current condition.
Scope of work is presented as follows:
- Assessment of the bridge deck cracks and provide an appropriate repair methodology based on scientific evaluation of the causes of the cracking.
- Assessment of the other bridge deck defects and providing appropriate repair methodology
- Assessment of the bridge decks and providing appropriate surface treatment methodology
- Data collection and analysis of the test results
- Providing a structural and durability assessment based on the data analysis
- Repair and Remediation Methods, Materials, and Specifications
TECHNOCRETE and PENSAR companies won a D&C tender for “Scientific Investigation and Repair of 8 Concrete Bridges”. TECHNOCRETE Consulting Engineers carried out the Scientific Investigation including Detailed Visual Inspection, vast range of Non-Destructive Testing, and Structural & Durability Condition Assessment of the bridges.
This project was received “National Merit Award in Assessment & Diagnosis” from ACRA in 2021.
Dr Farhad Nabavi presented the methodology of this investigation in ACRA Technical Seminar on 21 April 2021.
