| Abstract: |
Four years after completing a swing bridge in the London Docks a section of surfacing in alimited area subject to braking forces from heavy traffic had to be replaced. As a result of this experience and tests on samples the specification for recent movable bridgeshas been modified. The insulating layer is reduced in thickness, the stone content andpenetration of the mastic asphalt increased, and steel strips are welded to the deck plate to reinforcethe surfacing in heavy duty areas. |
