The University Bridge Arch Assessment - A New Approach
This study evaluates various rehabilitation strategies for the University Bridge in Saskatoon, focusing on arches and piers. Methods like Fiber Reinforced Polymer wrap, Cathodic Protection, Re-alkalization, and others were evaluated using experimental data on concrete properties and environmental conditions informed numerical models. A recommended synergistic mitigation strategy combining Galvanic Cathodic Protection and a Penetrating Sealer could save $2-4 million.
