Abstract
Engineers with the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Bridges and Structures noticed that the construction quality of the strip seal termination detail on many of their bridges, and particularly on skewed bridges, is not satisfactory, nor ideal, and that a need exists for re-evaluation and possibly redesign of this detail.
