A Comprehensive Review of the Key Deterioration Factors of Concrete Bridge Decks
Bridges are generally acknowledged as one of the vital structures of transportation systems. Meanwhile, they are prone to time-variant damage and deterioration mechanisms over their life span. With that in mind, this research study aims to explore state-of-the-art work in relation to deterioration models and related critical factors of reinforced concrete bridges. Particularly, this study presents a mixed review methodology (scientometric and systematic) that reviews over 300 publications in Scopus and Web of Science databases over the period 1985–2023. The study scrutinized and categorized the wide spectrum of deterioration factors in reinforced concrete bridges with the help of deterioration models. Results manifested that implicating deterioration factors can be grouped into seven main clusters, namely chemical, material properties, design & construction, physical, operational, environmental, and force majeure. In addition, it is noted that hitherto, there has been a lack of sufficient research efforts on non-destructive evaluation-based deterioration models.
