Abstract: Two T-shaped reinforced concrete wall specimens were subjected to reversed cyclic loading quasi-statically to failure. Both represented half-scale wall assemblages of a 6-story prototype building. Modifications to the wall ...

Abstract: Each year a large number of concrete bridges are subjected to impact by overheight vehicles or vehicles carrying overheight objects. Most bridge owners in the United States are concerned with the increasing trend of bridges ...

Abstract: Static load tests were performed on support details used at the ends of prestressed concrete pedestrian bridge girders to determine the resistance characteristics of girder supports in the direction perpendicular to the ...

Abstract: When precast full-depth deck panels and/or decked bulb-Ts (DBTs) are used for accelerated bridge construction, transverse joints exist. In this study, continuous transverse U-bar joint details, which can provide negative ...

Abstract: Continuous longitudinal U-bar joint details for accelerated bridge construction are investigated. Four pairs of full-scale slabs connected by a U-bar detail with one of the selected closure-pour materials were tested under ...

Abstract: Field- and model-scale experiments were conducted to quantitatively assess the effects of wind loading on Rural Intersection Conflict Warning System (RICWS) highway sign structures. A field-scale RICWS was instrumented ...
