Dynamic Loading Effect Testing of a Modular Truss Bridge: Procedures and Resultant Data Set
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Experimental bridge testing often produces large data sets that may have applicability to many analysis goals within bridge engineering. To ensure the persistence of these records for future analysis, it is essential to ...
Dynamic Load Effects of Wheeled and Tracked Military Vehicles on a Steel Girder Composite Bridge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The perceived and observed differences in the dynamic behavior between wheeled and tracked military vehicles should be accounted for in the application of appropriate dynamic load effect values for bridge design and ...
Ballistic Resistance of UHPFRC Panels Subjected to Armor-Piercing Projectiles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, thin armor panels were designed and constructed using ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), and their ballistic resistance to armor-piercing small arms fire was assessed. The fiber dosages ...
Design and Site Application of Prestressed Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets for Strengthening Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Recent Advances in Performance Evaluation and Flexural Response of Existing Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the performance evaluation and flexural response of existing bridges from fundamental concepts to advanced topics. The focus is particularly on the ...
Prestressed Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets for Strengthening Concrete Beams at Room and Low Temperatures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A technique for strengthening damaged concrete beams using prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets was developed at Queen’s University and the Royal Military College of Canada. As part of this study, an ...
Flexural Strengthening of RC Beams with Prestressed CFRP Sheets: Using Nonmetallic Anchor Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets using nonmetallic anchor systems. The developed nonmetallic anchor systems ...
Flexural Strengthening of RC Beams with Prestressed CFRP Sheets: Development of Nonmetallic Anchor Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a novel anchoring technique for strengthening reinforced concrete beams with prestressed carbon fiber- reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Permanent steel anchors are commonly used for the application of ...
Research on the Use of FRP for Critical Load-Bearing Infrastructure in Conflict Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research into the use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in structures at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) during the past two decades has largely focused on two important military engineering goals—mobility and ...
Live Load Distributions on an Impact-Damaged Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridge Repaired Using Prestressed CFRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes detailed flexural behavior, including live load distributions, of a four-span prestressed concrete girder bridge supported by
