Abstract: Load tests on segmental bridges are uncommon in the literature given their relatively short history and comparatively smaller presence in the national bridge inventory. This paper presents results from two segmental concrete ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a computational simulation scheme to describe the intrusion of corrosion-inducing chloride ions in prestressed bridge girders. This phenomenon impacts the durability of bridges in coastal zones or ...

Abstract: Traditional methods used to repair prestressed concrete (PC) girders subjected to impact damage due to overheight vehicles include strand splicing and external posttensioning. These methods have proven to be partially ...

Abstract: This paper uses nonlinear analysis to determine the impact of corrosion-induced damage on the load-carrying capacity of prestressed concrete bridge girders. The analyses rely on two types of models, namely, beam models and ...
