Abstract: This paper reports an experimental program conducted to measure the transfer lengths (or transmission lengths) of pretensioned seven-wire strands in pretensioned concrete specimens. The primary goals of the research were ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of eccentrically loaded connections made by combining fillet welds and high-strength pretensioned bolts. New models are introduced for characterizing the load-deformation behavior of ...

Abstract: This case study focuses on excessive and undesired deformations that occurred during construction of newly rehabilitated steel bridges. The case study responds to problems with elevation control and subsequent ride quality ...
