Investigation into the Damage State and Safety Assessment of Concrete Bridge Deck Slabs

Abstract

The present study introduces an analytical approach grounded in fuzzy hierarchical analysis, aimed at detecting and analyzing bridge deck deterioration, with the overarching objective of enhancing the efficiency and safety of bridge maintenance operations.This methodology assesses the structural integrity of bridge deck slabs by scrutinizing variables including traffic volume, service life, traffic duration, temperature, and other pertinent factors, followed by meticulous weight calculation.Employing finite element modeling and computational techniques, this study delves into the analysis of principal stress and displacement distribution across the bridge deck, both pre- and post-reinforcement measures.This analysis serves as a pivotal reference point for maintenance endeavors, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the bridge infrastructure.Moreover, this approach enables prompt implementation of repair and reinforcement measures, mitigating the risk of accidents and concurrently augmenting the efficacy and safety standards of bridge maintenance protocols.Given the pivotal role of transportation infrastructure in societal development, the efficacy of such measures bears significant ramifications for overall transport advancement.
