... Yes No New Bridge Decks 17 15 Existing Bridge Decks 20 13 If the answer to either of the above is Yes, please provide the criteria. Respondent New Bridge Existing Criteria Decks Bridge Decks Alaska Yes Yes If an asphalt overlay is used, a waterproofing membrane is specified where possible.
From page 54...
... Utah No Yes Waterproofing membranes are standard practice when applying asphalt wearing surfaces on any existing deck. The combination of membrane and asphalt overlay usually occurs when a deck requires pothole patching.
From page 55...
... Respondent New Bridge Existing Basis Decks Bridge Decks Alaska 16 to 20 11 to 15 If properly installed, asphalt deterioration typically governs membrane service life, 10­15 years. On new bridges, a 4-in.-thick overlay is typically used and may extend the service life, whereas on existing bridges less than 4-in.
From page 56...
... MIT is beginning to move away from waterproofing membranes and asphalt overlay systems to exposed concrete decks on our bridges due to deck perfor mance enhancements realized by using fibre-reinforced concrete. Ancillary benefits are reduced dead load and/or increased structural capacity of the deck and better long-term per formance of the riding surface (less rutting in wheel paths and potholes at joints)
From page 57...
... Other If other, please describe briefly. Other reasons given were as follows: · Waterproofing membranes that were observed to have a significantly reduced service life were eliminated from use.
