Provides a review of the repair, maintenance and protection of concrete bridges. This book summarizes information from conference papers, research and technical reports, and others. It aims to increase the expertise of structural engineers and safeguard the investment. It presents solutions to the problems and pitfalls that engineers encounter.

"This CD-ROM contains twelve papers that were presented at sessions sponsored by ACI Committee 345 at the ACI Spring 2010 Convention in Chicago, IL. The papers contain information relating to the current technology for concrete bridge repair and maintenance. The papers discussed case studies of damage and corresponding repair, state-of-the-art repair technologies, evaluation and inspection techniques, and maintenance of existing concrete bridges."--American Concrete Institute web site.

A guide to inspecting, maintaining, and rehabilitating various types of concrete and composite bridges. It also discusses emergency measures you can take to keep bridges operating safely until they can be rehabilitated. It provides civil and structural engineers with methods for conducting safety inspections, condition surveys, and more.

Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers, bridge engineers, structural engineers and construction managers interested in repair of concrete bridges.
