Abstract

Recent increasing traffic volumes have made many bridges on highway be widened. Depending on the construction method of bridge widening, several undesirable problems have been arisen with the additional stresses resulting from de-staging of new bridge and the difference of the amount of creep and shrinkage between new and existing bridge. The main focus of this paper is given to investigate the variation of the adhesive strength of steel bar and construction joints of new and old concrete slab. The result shows that repeated vibration loadings was caused some bad effects on the construction joints between new and existing bridges.
