- Synopsis
- The Japan Society of Civil Engineers established a subcommittee on construction technology for the renovation of reinforced concrete slabs over steel girder road bridges (hereinafter, the Subcommittee) in 2016. The Subcommittee collected information on the current status of maintenance and repair of RC slabs and the latest construction projects and construction technology with a focus on RC slab renovation technology, whose use it expected to spread in the future. Further, the Subcommittee held information exchange sessions to ascertain that the renovation of RC slabs can be carried out safely and effectively according to the given construction conditions, and proceeded with the compilation of a report. This paper presents an overview of that report, entitled "Design and Construction Technology for Renovation of Reinforced Concrete Slab over Steel Girder Road Bridges", which was published in April 2020 as a result of the Subcommittee's three years of activities.
