| Summary | Instead of completely repainting a bridge, repainting only narrow parts of girder ends and other parts that are susceptible to localized deterioration is considered to be a rational method of lowering bridge maintenance costs. This research was an experimental study reproducing narrow parts performed to study rationalized methods of mixing paint ingredients and repainting methods for narrow members. |
