Abstract: Tests were performed to determine shear load‐displacement relationships for three different anchors used to attach a steel liner to the concrete in a reinforced concrete primary containment: (1) The metric tee

Abstract: Concrete bearing stress test results on large embedded inserts subjected to shear failure loads are presented. Tests were performed on eight individual inserts that were cast into a prototype concrete slab reinforced ...

Abstract: The erection of steel plate girders during the construction process of a steel bridge is a complex operation, which is often left to the contractor and/or the subcontractor to plan and execute. Rules of thumb have been ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design and evaluates the adequacy of the moment connection of an experimental two-span highway bridge designed by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The Massman Drive Bridge is an experimental ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of support conditions is important in the analysis of bridges for seismic loading. To address the problem of modeling the soil-structure interface of bridges supported by piles driven in loess in West ...

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 ...
