The Concrete Bridge Preservation article on page 38 summarizes the results of NCHRP Synthesis 562. As part of the study, state
departments of transportation were surveyed about the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of post-tensioned bridge
structures. This is a link to the 45 responses to the survey.

The Perspective article on page 20 presents Washington State Department of Transportation’s policies and criteria for
repairing or replacing prestressed concrete girders damaged while in service. Other resources for the evaluation and
repair of damaged girders include “Guide to Recommended Practice for the Repair of Impact-Damaged Prestressed
Concrete Bridge Girders,” published as part of NCHRP Project 20-07. The guide is available for downloading via this link.

NCHRP Project 20-68D, the U.S. Domestic Scan program, is intended to facilitate innovation among transportation
agencies by face-to-face interaction. Domestic Scan 19-01 brought together representatives from 12 state agencies
to share lessons learned in bridge design, construction, and maintenance. This link accesses the Scan 19-01 report,
“Leading Practices for Detailing Bridge Ends and Approach Pavements to Limit Distress and Deterioration.”
