In response to a growing number of deteriorated and obsolete highway bridge decks, the Reynolds Metal Company has developed a multi-voided aluminum bridge deck system. The Virginia Department of Transportation agreed to implement the new aluminum deck system in a demonstration project. The Reynolds deck was employed to rehabilitate a functionally obsolete Route 58 Highway bridge that spanned the Little Buffalo Creek near Clarksville, Virginia. Because the Virginia Department of Transportation considered and serviceability of the Reynolds system. This study involved both experimental and analytical evaluations of the rehabilitated Route 58 Bridge. The Virginia Transportation Research council performed two field tests to evaluate bridge response. Instrumentation, consisting of various gages and transducers, measured deck and girder displacement, strains, and accelerations during controlled static and dynamic vehicular load tests.
