Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of bolt behavior in adjustable bolted steel plate connections during field installation and a numerical finite-element (FE) parametric investigation of the impact of ...

Abstract: This paper experimentally and numerically investigates the service and ultimate behavior of adjustable bolted steel plate connections—slip-critical, splice plate connections that can join wide flange sections at a range ...

Abstract: Panelized bridge systems (e.g., Bailey, Mabey Johnson, Acrow) are intended for girder-type bridges and have been implemented for military, civilian, and disaster relief applications. Design challenges, however, include ...
