Abstract: Many bridges are constructed in groups of simple spans. This construction system requires the use of deck (expansion) joints over piers, leading to numerous problems that are costly to maintain or repair. The use of jointless ...

Abstract: This paper presents the physical, mechanical, and durability characterization of Tokyo Rope carbon fiber composite cables (CFCCs). Specimens were exposed to and alkaline solution (12.8 pH) for 1,000, 3,000, 5,000, and ...

Abstract: The research work reported in this paper involves investigation of the tensile behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ground anchors. Variables of the tests on the anchor models were anchor fixed length, tendon type, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from an investigation into the performance of concrete bridge decks designed with the empirical design method. Compressive membrane/arching action (CMAA) behavior in bridge decks has been ...

Abstract: Marine, coastal structures, and bridges deteriorate prematurely due to corrosion. Numerous failures have occurred in substructure members of these structures, such as piles, leading to very high repair and replacement ...
