Abstract: Shake-table studies were conducted on a large-scale, two-span accelerated bridge construction (ABC) bridge model that incorporated 38 precast concrete elements and six emulative ABC connection types. The studies were aimed ...

Abstract: A prerequisite to the implementation of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in moderate and high seismic regions is reliable data proving that bridges constructed by assembling precast elements can emulate the seismic ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the superelastic behavior of shape memory alloy, Nitinol

Abstract: A shake table experiment of a large-scale, two-span accelerated bridge construction (ABC) bridge model with steel superstructure incorporating six of the more promising ABC connections was conducted on shake tables at the ...
