Abstract: Full‐scale static and dynamic load tests are conducted for two precast, posttensioned reinforced concrete viaduct girders 22.3 m long. The first girder deflects 19.3 mm at midspan when subjected to a 3,240 kN static load, ...

Abstract: Dynamic buckling properties of simply supported columns under axial fluid-solid slamming are experimentally investigated in this study. By observing the elastic-plastic responses of columns, the dynamic buckling criterion ...

Abstract: Laboratory tests were carried out to characterize the properties of municipal fly ash (MFA) samples collected from an incineration plant in Singapore over a period of 12 months. The laboratory test results show that the ...

Abstract: The performance of a series of 1.5 m-long reinforced concrete beams with CFRP plates bonded to the soffit is presented. Effects of the plate length, the reinforcing steel ratio, and the thickness of the concrete cover on ...

Abstract: An ultimate load test is conducted on two main beams of a 28‐year‐old building. The interaction effects of floor slabs with the adjacent structural members are investigated using the finite element method. The test arrangement ...
