This report documents information on materials, specification requirements, design details, application methods, system performance, and costs of waterproofing membranes used on new and existing bridge decks since 1995.

<p>This paper describes how the concrete structure was designed and specified (concrete weight and tolerances) with allowances for the specific geotechnical and hydraulic conditions (water depth, concrete weight and freeboard, water level management in the ...

<p>The purpose of this guide is to provide an advisory document for the design, construction and control of concrete structures reinforced with FRP bars. The approach followed is that of the limit states semi-probabilistic method, while the format adopted ...

<p>The increasing interest in the use of fibre reinforcement has created a need for established design and analysis methods. Fibre reinforcement is mainly used in applications such as industrial floors and sprayed concrete, although other application areas ...

Engineering Demand Parameters, such as inter-storey drift or floor accelerations, can be correlated to damage within the structure. While current code provisions exist to estimate Engineering Demand Parameters to use in design of components within the structure, ...
