SMART DECK - Ein multifunktionaler Brückenbelag aus Textilbeton

Multifunctional textile reinforced concrete interlayer for bridges

A multifunctional interlayer for bridges, SMART-DECK, provides for the first time a combination of different functions: Continuous all over monitoring of the bridge condition and if necessary the protection of the bridge with a preventive cathodic corrosion protection and the strengthening of the load capacity. All three functions are realized with a carbon textile reinforced concrete interlayer. The SMART-DECK interlayer will not increase the dead load of the construction and will be used for new construction as well as for existing structures. Thus an essential contribution for a sustainable mobility will be made, because damages will be identified earlier and maintenance as well as repair work can be postponed for years to times with little traffic. The operator of the bridge construction is able to monitor the condition of the bridge in realtime.
