Abstract

High performance concrete containing silica fume for use in bridge deck overlay emerged as a viable type of bridge deck overlay that economic advantage in construction. They have gained acceptance in Europe, America and Canada in a relatively short time due to their low cost. In this study, high-performance concretes containing silica fume were tested and evaluated in the laboratory to assess their applicability for use in bridge deck overlay. It was conducted with experiments of mechanical and durability characteristics in compressive strength, flexural strength, chloride permeability, abrasion resistance, repeated freezing and thawing cycles and deicing salt scaling resistance. Laboratory test result describe that high-performance concrete containing silica fume for bridge deck overlay application shows most outstanding capacity.
