    Review of bridges that have lastedmore than 100 years indicates:

    1- Maintainable and well maintained over their 100-year lives due to extreme importance or high capital

    replacement cost,

    2- Originally over-designed

    Steps in Design for Service Life

    Step 1-Identify the factors that influence the service life ofbridge elements, components and subsystems, such as traffic,environmental or internal defects and risk to damage.

    Step 2-Identify the deterioration and damage mechanism,such as freeze/thaw cycles

    Step 3-Identify modes of failures and consequences. For

    instance, the corrosion of reinforcement, causing corrosioninduced cracking and loss of strength.

    Steps in Design for Service Life

    Step 4-Identify suitable approaches for mitigating the failure modes or

    assessing risk of damage, through life cycle cost analysis. For instance, useof higher performing materials for sliding surfaces in bearings or use ofmaterial prone to deterioration at lower initial cost.

    Step 5-Estimate service life of the bridge element, component or

    subsystem using Finite or Target Service Life Design approaches.

    Step 6-Compare the service life of the bridge element, component orsubsystem to the service life of the bridge system and develop appropriatemaintenance, retrofit and/or replacement plan.

    Step 7-Develop design, fabrication, construction, operation, maintenance,replacement and management plans for achieving the specified design lifefor the bridge system.

    Differential

    Shrinkage

    Use low modulus concrete mix

    design for composite decks

    Allows additional strain to be

    accommodated up to cracking stress

    Typically lower in strength and may

    be subject to wear and abrasion

    Use high creep concrete mixdesigned for composite decks

    Reduces lockedin stressesUncommon mix design. Difficult toassess stress relief

    Develop composite action after

    concrete has hardened

    Allows slippage between deck and

    supporting members, minimizing

    locked-in stresses

    Little experience with experimentalsystems. Friction reduction difficult

    to assess. Introduces numerous

    construction joints. Grout integrity
