Synthesis of Effective Treatments to Address Settlement Beneath Bridge Approach Slabs

This synthesis will advance the Florida Department of Transportation’s understanding of effective treatments to mitigate settlement in approach slabs. The study will provide a summary of effective methods to address approach slab settlement, some of which have not been used by the Department prior to this study. The synthesis will include a survey of other states to determine approach slab rehabilitation methods. Finally, the synthesis will present several case studies of effective rehabilitation techniques for approach slab settlement
