ABSTRACT
Repairs during bridge construction occur due to construction deficiencies, constructability issues, and unexpected loading incidents. Repair procedures and materials are selected to meet the performance requirements in the initial design. However, impact of the repair procedures and materials on the service life and durability of bridge component are not formally addressed during the construction phase. This paper discusses the impact of selected repair procedures for cracks on concrete bridge decks and blockage of post-tensioning ducts on the service life, and the key considerations in the selection of repair procedures.
