LMC Overlay Construction Method

(Hybrid Innovation Maintenance Construction)

Problems of Existing Bridge-Deck Surfacing

Air + Rain + Chloride

Ion

Existing bridge-deck
surfacing
Early distortion and crack
Uncertain Waterproofing

Paving Boundary
Low adhesive strength
Early damage on
waterproofing stratum

1. Asphalt overlay method

Structure is damaged due to the rain
and chloride ion

2. Ultra rapid harding cement

method
surface abrasion and decreased
durability

RC Slab
Corrosion of rebar and
deterioration of concrete
Decreased durability of
bridge
Repeated maintenance
and repair
Unreasonable
maintenance control

Develop and apply LMC

on existing and new
bridges

Analysis of Structural Behavior After Repair

Availability of structural behavior forecast after repair

Deterioration of cement
Decreased section force

Remove deterioration of
cement

Recovery and increase of

section force

Decreased bearing
