Abstract: This paper focuses on improving the efficiency and aesthetics of standard highway bridges with attention to cast-in-place substructure design. Standard short- and moderate-span bridges are predominantly functional and ...

Abstract: This paper is the first of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional stay-cable corrosion protection ...

Abstract: External posttensioning tendons in concrete box girder bridges are usually anchored in very massive end diaphragms. Several incidences of distress of such diaphragms have been reported in the literature. This paper presents ...

Abstract: This paper is the second of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional system of portland cement ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on improving bridge substructures by developing attractive and rapidly constructed substructure systems for short- and moderate-span bridges. The importance of improved substructure design is discussed. ...

Abstract: Two kinds of errors are frequently encountered during the construction of cable-stayed bridges: one is force-application error in the jacking cable forces, and the other is geometry error in controlling elevations of the ...

Abstract: Grout mixes using commercially available antibleed admixtures were tested for fresh properties and subsequently corrosion tested using anodic polarization to accelerate the corrosion process. Commercial admixtures that are ...
