Abstract [en]
Concrete overlays on bridge decks are thought to be more durable when comparing with the more common solution with asphalt. Of interest is to evaluate the concrete overlay regarding traffic and shrinkage/temperature induced stresses. In a pilot study nondestructive test systems were evaluated with focus on detecting hidden defects, (e.g. debonding), that may have induced identified surface cracks. Furthermore, calibration of material parameters for a similar composite slab was done using finite element technique and compared with experimental studies in laboratory. Good agreement was found between numerical and experimental results. This will serve as an input for future bridge FE-models.
