Abstract:

The conception of the unified presentation of reinforced concrete bridges tests results realized implementing varying diagnostic methods is presented in the paper. The Multi Mapping procedure comprises maps charting for the investigated surfaces incorporating corrosive state of reinforcement, concrete strength, the range of carbonation, the thickness of concrete cover, the contents of chlorides, the permeability of concrete cover etc. Maps created on the same base are more precisely outlining existing deterioration factors. The overlapping of these maps will enable to specify the areas requiring special diagnostic control, or estimation of complex hazards of structure durability.

The case study presented in the paper shows results of Multi Mapping investigations done on three similar concrete bridges, located in the same city and on the same river.
