Precast concrete deck through factory production of precast products can minimize construction method and the traffic congestion and can be effective alternative to conventional cast-in-place. In particular, in the case of precast deck, connection details between precast decks are very important because durability and load-bearing performance of structures is greatly affected by them. so conneciotion details to secure constructability and safety, affordability are very important. In this study, a new connection detail on the precast deck connections are proposed and test results comparison from various parametric experiments would be performed to verify the applicability of the proposed technique.

We analyzed the characteristics of damage by the ratio of defect, damage and deterioration, and bridge members based on the last 15 years safety diagnosis of expressway bridges. Accordingly, we confirmed the importance of the maintenance of non-structural members (Pavement of bridge deck, Expansion joint, Shoe, Drainage etc.) on the total service life of bridges.

To suggest the preliminary data for effective maintenance of RC deck slabs of bridges, the damage characteristics of RC deck slabs are quantitatively analyzed in the present study. Damages of RC deck slab are classified into damage patterns and its details. And, rate of damage possess, cause of damage occurrence and time of damage occurrence are reviewed from this study.
