Abstract: Corrosion has been recognized as one of the predominant causes of degradation in aging RC bridge columns. This problem may significantly affect flexural and shear capacities and even alter failure modes of corroded columns. ...

Abstract: Experimental testing revealed that installing concealed vertical slits in reinforced concrete (RC) infill walls enabled the RC infill walls to behave in a more ductile manner (as compared to conventional solid RC walls), ...

Abstract: This study develops the probabilistic seismic response and capacity models for the broad collection of standard pile designs that are routinely incorporated into bridges in California. A review of the state bridge inventory ...
