Preliminary Studies of Remedial Measures for the Prevention of Bridge Deck Deterioration, HR-146, 1970

Four series of five specimens each were investigated for static and fatigue strength. These four series differed in that there were two variables, the first being the subsidence of concrete around reinforcing bars and the second being shrinkage due to two different curing conditions. The combinations of these variables were then compared to each other by use of, load-deflection curves and S-H fatigue curves.
