From page 293...
... 293 Questionnaire #1 Summary of Experience with Service Issues Your Name and Title: Your Phone Number and Email Address: Please address the following questions as they relate to summarizing your experience by material type, structure type and subsystem, component and element type. The following are possible examples of these various features: • Material Type: steel, plain concrete, reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, etc.

... 295 5. Bridge Movements (horizontal movements are movements in longitudinal direction of bridge)
From page 296...
... 296 agency's Tolerable Movement Criteria for new Bridge Structures 1. Article C10.5.5.2 of AASHTO (2007)
From page 297...
... 297 response to Questionnaire 1 on Superstructure Issues Question 1: What are the five or ten most costly maintenance/ durability items in your structural maintenance budget? The most costly maintenance/durability items within the structural maintenance budget as reported in the survey responses are: • Expansion joints and steel coating systems (13 each)
From page 298...
... 298 joints was a common response, which may be related to many of the other issues mentioned. As would be expected, the chloride penetration and "ADT and salt" categories were focused in the northern part of the country where winter weather conditions require the use of salt for traffic safety.
