Funded Activity Summary

A study of the correlation between pre- and post- demolition performance assessment for prestressed concrete beams in a 45 year old major road bridge. In 2002 a major prestressed concrete bridge in Tasmania was demolished after only 45 years in service because of fears about the corrosion of the prestressing bars. Earlier, very extensive investigations were carried out to attempt to assess the rate of its deterioration and to establish the remaining margin of safety. The present project aims to investigate the degree of correlation between the performance assessment before and after demolition. Extensive pre-demolition documentation provided by the industry partner and detailed new assessments will give valuable research insight about the meaningfulness and reliability of investigative techniques for safety assessment. It will assist road authorities in structural assessment of bridges close to coastal marine environments.
