Abstract: A bridge replacement method is disclosed. The bridge includes a deck supported by a pair of abutments, each abutment having wing walls. The deck is removed, footings are cast in holes dug behind each abutment and a pier is provided on each footing. Substantially parallel and coplanar cambered beams are provided. Each beam spans between and is supported by the piers. A brace assembly reinforces the beam camber. On each adjacent pair of beams, precast deck elements are placed, such that each element of said plurality spans the beam pair, to define at least transverse gaps between the elements and put the upper surfaces of the elements in compression in a transverse direction. The gaps are grouted. After grout curing, the brace is adjusted to reduce the beam camber and cause the upper surface of the elements to also be put into compression in a direction parallel to the beams.

Abstract: A rodent and insect repellent system that effectively deters or repels rodents, squirrels, small animals and crawling insects from entering vehicles such as cars, trucks, motor homes, trailers, tractors and recreational vehicles. The invention is a process in which an application of a non-drip oily coating is applied to the entire undercarriage and engine compartment of a vehicle. The coating prevents rodents, squirrels, small animals and crawling insects from traveling across areas coated. This coating stays wet and slippery to the touch, yet it will not drip or dry out. In addition, the coating is scented with natural essential oils which overwhelm the acute sense of smell that rodents have and drive them away from the vehicle.
