3 Background Despite many advances in bridge design, concrete technology, and corrosion-resistant reinforcement, cracking of concrete members continues to be a concern for bridge owners, particularly for bridges exposed to severe environments. The presence of cracks provides a direct path for water and chlorides to penetrate concrete and reach the reinforcement, a process that can lead to degradation of the concrete or corrosion of steel reinforcement.
