Proposed truss rehabilitation – SH 174 over the Brazos River

3-span continuous deck truss Built in 1950 Functionally obsolete Structurally deficient

Functionally obsolete – Roadway width 26 feet
Structurally deficient – “Corbel” supporting approach slabs
controls rating

Increase roadway width to 28 feet
New 8-inch thick deck will still keep the structure structurally deficient
– Most gusset plates would have to:
• Receive extra plates
• Rivet replacement

SPS – Decreases the deck dead load by over 50%
• Eliminates the need for gusset plates to receive supplementary plates • Substantially decreases the number of gusset plates needing
rivet replacement

Wearing surface — Multi-layer P\polymer overlay (MLPO) per TxDOT standard specification item 439, “Bridge Deck Overlays”
– Epoxy with aggregate “overlay”
– Thickness is generally 3/8″
– Replacement cycle between 5 to 10 years (depending on product)
– Ease of application • Temperature range 32⁰F to 104⁰F • Clean surface to product specifications • Apply primer • Apply resin (pot life of 15 to 20 minutes) • Broadcast aggregate • Apply sealant (product dependent)

Sizing One way span to depth ratio for SPS
Minimum girder depth calculated from AASHTO LRFD Table 2.5.2.6.3-1 – Depth = 0.033 x span (simple spans)
SPS Deck Size (in-in-in) Girder/Stringer Spacing (ft)
3/8–1–3/8 6–7
7/16–1–7/16 7.5–9
1/2–1–1/2 9.5–11

Grading
SPS adaptable to any cross slope or superelevation; transitions handled panel to panel to panel with discrepancies taken up in wearing surface

Distributors
Currently one distributor in the US located in Ohio
At least one more added to the US by the end of 2015
Due to cost, use on off system bridges might be cost prohibitive
Likely approach:
– Design with both concrete deck and SPS as an alternate
– Compared to SPS, concrete deck will
• require gusset plate strengthening or replacement
• rivet or bolt replacement
• longer construction duration
• ready-mix concrete availability could be a hindrance
