Abstract
This investigation was conducted for the purpose of determining the condition of exposed bridge surfaces with respect to scaling of the Portland cement concrete. Bridges in the Indiana Primary, Secondary and Interstate Systems were investigated. The exposed surfaces checked were approaches, deck, curb, gutter and sidewalk areas. Bridges constructed from 1947 to the fall of 1963 were inspected. The year 1947 was chosen as a starting point since 1947 was the first year in which air-entrained concrete was in general usage. The tabulation of bridges in the State Highway System of Indiana compiled by the Bridge Department of the ISHC and dated June 30, 1962 was used as a basis for determining the number and location of bridges on the Primary and Secondary systems. Strip maps were used to locate Interstate bridges and hence the total count of Interstate structures could not be determined with the same accuracy. However, a large fraction of the total number of Interstate bridges was included in the survey. All bridges on record were located on a state map using map pins. Routes were then selected in a manner so as to give uniform coverage of the state. This investigation was not intended to inventory all structures in the state but rather to obtain a representative sample throughout the state so as to evaluate the magnitude of the scaling problem in Indiana.
