Abstract
The paper examines the basic principles of calculating the durability of thin-layer plastic concrete covering on reinforced concrete slabs of roadways of highway bridges, taking into account domestic and European experience and countries of the world. The proposed methodology for calculating thin-layer coating on bridges takes into account the thermorheological properties of aerated concrete, using the provisions of the kinetic theory of the strength of solid bodies and based on the principles of Palgren-Miner and Bailey about the superposition of damage to the structure of aerated concrete during the period of operation under the negative joint action of the most influential factors, this made it possible to develop a limit state criterion thinlayer coating based on plastic concrete. Analytical calculations are given to determine the horizontal normal stresses that arise in the thin-layer concrete coating on bridges due to the effect of concrete shrinkage, changes in (seasonal, annual and daily) temperatures and the action of pneumatic wheels of vehicles. Analytical dependences are given for the components of the limit state criterion and the estimation of the service life of the thin-layer coating on bridges
