Abstract: A monitoring strategy for investigating the long-term longitudinal deflections at the expansion joints of the I-35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge was developed as a means of inferring the integrity of the bearings. During the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a technique for computing the time-dependent behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete as a composite material. This technique, when implemented in a finite-element model and assuming that the ...

Abstract: Typically, measurement and analysis of concrete time-dependent behaviors such as creep and shrinkage are performed under the assumption of constant temperature conditions. However, many structures in the field are subject ...

Abstract: A parametric study was conducted to extend the results of an experimental program on a concrete integral abutment (IA) bridge in Rochester, MN to other integral abutment bridges with different design variables including ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on an investigation of transverse joint details with tight bend diameter U-bars for accelerated bridge construction. It presents the testing results of potential alternate reinforcing materials and joint ...
