iii ABSTRACT The primary product of this effort was the development of a manual titled “Manual on Service Life Prediction of Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Bridge Superstructure Elements.” This manual provides a protocol for assessing the condition of reinforced concrete bridge superstructure elements subjected to corrosion-induced deterioration, predicting the remaining service life of such elements using the developed service life model, and quantifying service life extension for such elements expected from alternative maintenance and repair options. This report documents the data utilized in the development and validation of the service life model presented in the manual.
