TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 500: Control of Concrete Cracking in Bridges provides information on methods used to control concrete cracking in bridge superstructures and substructures, and on the influence of cracking on long-term durability. Cracking of concrete in bridges continues to be a concern for bridge owners, particularly with bridge decks exposed to severe environments. The control of cracking for aesthetic, durability, and structural reasons becomes increasingly important as service-life goals are extended and higher-strength concrete, higher-strength reinforcement, and different types of reinforcement are used in bridge construction.
Introduction -- Types and causes of concrete cracking in bridges --Effects of concrete constituent materials on cracking -- Effects of construction practices on cracking -- Effects of reinforcement type on crack control -- Influence of cracking on long-term bridge performance -- Case examples -- Conclusions and suggestions for future research.
