Repair Methods for Prestressed Girder Bridges
What’s the Problem: Prestressed concrete bridges are exhibiting signs of
deterioration and distress Although there are many research/case studies
addressing repair of prestressed girder bridges, there is little comprehensive guidance available to bridge engineers

How Will the Research Help Solve the Problem: The key deliverable of the research project was
to conduct a state of the art review of both assessment and repair techniques suitable for damaged prestressed concrete bridge systems
