RISPerformance of Polymer Modified Asphalt Bridge Expansion Joints in Low-Temperature Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conventional asphalt bridge expansion joints used in low-temperature regions generally show cracking within the first
Effects of Ice-Breaking Nose Shapes on Drift Ice Impact Forces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By using ANSYS/LS-DYNA explicit dynamical analysis software, finite element models for an ice sheet and a
Long-Term Performance of a Curved Box Girder Viaduct
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deformations due to environmental and mechanical loads in curved bridges can lead to fairly complex long-term effects. Instead of the one-dimensional longitudinal movement that occur in straight bridges, in curved bridges ...
Fatigue of Concrete Beams Strengthened with Glass-Fiber Composite under Flexure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A detailed investigation on the fatigue performance of concrete beams strengthened with glass-fiber composite (GFC) is performed in this study. Cyclic load tests were conducted on reinforced concrete beam specimens ...
Failure Analysis of Pot Bearings in a Curved Viaduct
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a failure analysis of pot-type bearings on the West 8th Avenue viaduct in Denver, Colorado, and aims at determining the causes of guide bar fracture, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) peeling, and steel–steel ...
