Abstract: The flexural behavior of an ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) was investigated through the testing and related analysis of a full-scale prestressed I-girder. A

Abstract: The concrete-damaged plasticity (CDP) model with proposed material properties replicated the observed deflection and strain responses of three experimentally tested I-girders and was determined to be consistent for different ...

Abstract: Beams made of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), a fiber-reinforced concrete with high compressive strength and tensile strain-hardening characteristics, exhibit flexural behaviors that are different than those ...

Abstract: Because of their tensile strain-hardening characteristics, ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) materials offer significant advantages in terms of beam shear capacity and postcracking behavior compared to conventional ...

Abstract: This paper presents a series of strengthening concepts for steel through-girder bridges using ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) and external post-tensioning (PT). Five concepts were investigated either by large-scale ...

Abstract: Prefabricated bridge deck panels are a popular option for new construction and bridge rehabilitation. Further, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has become a common option for closure pours between adjacent prefabricated ...

Abstract: Routine inspection is the most common form of highway bridge inspection to satisfy the requirements of the National Bridge Inspection Standards. The accuracy and reliability of documentation generated during these inspections ...
