Abstract: This study demonstrates the potential of posttensioning truss bridges. Posttensioning deficient truss bridges using different posttensioning tendon layouts can be a cost‐effective method to strengthen them and to increase ...

Abstract: More than 80% of the steel truss bridges inventoried in the United States are structurally deficient and/or functionally obsolete. Posttensioning these bridges using different posttensioned tendon layouts can be a ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the feasibility of developing ultrastrength high-performance flowable concretes made with a high content of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). A total of 25 concrete mixtures were prepared ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the fresh, mechanical, and durability characteristics of self-consolidating concrete incorporating recycled asphalt pavements (SCCRAP). A total of 12 concrete mixtures were prepared and tested. ...

Abstract: Daily and monthly adjustment factors have traditionally been used to expand the estimation of daily traffic volumes into average monthly and average annual traffic. However, research efforts that are devoted to developing ...

Abstract: This paper addresses automated reconnaissance of building damage from seismic events using smartphones. Damage assessment is enabled by computation of interstory drift ratios (IDR) and comparison of those ratios with known ...
