Smart Control of a Geothermally Heated Bridge Deck
This manuscript describes the “smart” control system designed for a geothermal bridge deck heating system. The control system integrates concepts of model predictive control with a first-principles bridge deck model and hourly computerized National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts to prevent bridge icing without the use of salt or other chemical de-icing materials. The proactive nature of the co...
متن کاملSimulation of a Geothermal Bridge Deck Anti-icing System and Experimental Validation
The design of heated bridge deck anti-icing systems requires assessment of long-term performance under expected future weather conditions. A method of simulating the performance of such a system has been developed. The system studied in this work uses a bridge deck with embedded hydronic tubing and a ground-coupled heat pump system with vertical borehole heat exchangers as a heat source. The mo...
متن کاملDetection of Bridge Deck
Delamination is probably the most serious form of deterioration I which is commonly found in britlge decks. It ultimately results in large scale spalling necessitating costly repairs. This type of failure is believed to be caused chiefly from salt induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. An instrument designed to detect delamination, and tests conducted to val:iAate its perf'ormance, are .br...
متن کاملBridge Deck Deicing
Concrete bridge decks are prone to ice accumulation. The use of road salts and chemicals for deicing is cost effective but causes damage to concrete and corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks. This problem is a major concern to transportation officials and public works due to rapid degradation of existing concrete pavements and bridge decks. The use of insulation materials for ...
متن کاملPlanning and Optimizing Bridge Deck Construction Using Computer Simulation
This paper presents a framework (named Bridge_Sim) that aids contractors in planning bridge deck construction using computer simulation. The proposed framework estimates the time and cost required for construction of bridges' decks. Seven construction methods are included in the proposed framework. These are: cast-in-place on falsework, steel bridge construction, cantilever carriage, pre-cast b...
