Tens of thousands of bridges in the US develop transverse deck cracking due to concrete shrinkage. Transverse cracks are observed on various types of superstructures and in most geographical locations. They increase the maintenance cost, reduce bridge life through accelerated corrosion, cause water leakage, and impact aesthetics. Most researchers have tried to tackle this problem to date by focusing on changes in design and construction techniques, many of which have been implemented, but the problem still remains.
