Abstract: Ductility is an important structural design characteristic for ensuring that any overloaded structural member or structure shows visible warnings of an incipient or impeding failure through large deformations and/or excessive ...

Abstract: Highway flyover bridges in New Jersey experienced extensive early-age cracking on the high performance concrete deck recently. There were transverse cracks observed predominantly in the positive moment regions and spider ...

Abstract: Transit agencies own and operate thousands of bridge structures subjected to repetitive train loading. The majority of these bridges were built at the turn of the century and many have exceeded their theoretical fatigue ...

Abstract: Cracking in concrete deck has been the major concern to bridge designers as well as owners. Excessive cracking not only would affect the performance and serviceability of the bridge but also reduce the service life of the ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the behavior and performance of laminated circular elastomeric bearings and compares them to those of square and rectangular bearings. The study included an experimental evaluation and a nationwide ...

Abstract: This paper determines the truck‐load spectra for highway bridges. The weigh‐in‐motion data was collected at weigh stations located on Highways I‐75 and I‐94. The total number of trucks considered in this study is over ...

Abstract: While green infrastructures (GIs) are used to address urban flooding and stormwater runoff and enhance sustainability, their implementation faces challenges such as limited funding and competing priorities. Existing studies ...
