Abstract: The simplified equations available at present to predict the collapse loads of single-cell concrete box-girder bridges with simply supported ends are based on either space truss analogy or collapse mechanisms. Experimental ...

Abstract: In design practice, the transverse bending analysis of box-girder bridges is commonly done by modeling the cross section as a frame of unit width with imaginary supports at the web locations. The transverse bending moments ...

Abstract: Space truss analogy and collapse mechanisms are the theoretical methods which are available at present to predict the collapse loads of single-cell concrete box-girder bridges. It is observed that of the two formulations, ...

Abstract: Safety assessment and rational design of bridge structures requires the uncertainty associated with vehicle loads to be modeled as accurately as possible. This modeling is rendered difficult by the presence of vehicle axle ...

Abstract: Time-dependent strains in reinforced concrete (RC) members are usually estimated using approximate algebraic methods. This paper presents an exact method for estimating the time-dependent strains in RC members subjected ...

Abstract: The test method of ASTM C512 (ASTM. 2015. Standard test method for creep of concrete in compression. ASTM C512/C512M. West Conshohocken, PA: ASTM) dictates the use of a spring-loaded creep frame to perform a creep test on ...
