A procedure is presented for the condition assessment of concrete bridge components. It is based on a rational integration of 13 applicable, current test methods or procedures with 7 newly developed methods. The selection of the current methods is detailed in Volume 1 of this report, and the developement of the 7 new procedures is presentted in Volumes 2 through 7. While The primary emphasis is on deterioration associated with chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel, all aspects of durability relative to concrete bridge components are addressed. The procedure is designed to be flexible and amenable to tailoring to suit the needs of the individual highway agency.

This volume reviews and summarizes the existing methods and equipment for evaluating the condition of concrete bridge components. It discusses methods for detection of damage resulting from corrosion of steel in concrete, poor quality or deteriorated concrete, and damages to prestressed/posttensioned tendons embedded in concrete. The discussion of each method includes any experiences with the method/procedure as reported in available literature sources and in interviews with state and provincial department of transportation inspection and maintenance personnel.
