Abstract: An experimental study is presented on the structural response of reinforced concrete skew bridges of: (a) orthogonally, (b) nonorthogonally shaped waffle slab constructions, and (c) solid slab construction. The response ...

Abstract: Utility requirements can often dictate the use of openings in prestressed concrete beams and girders. Such provision of openings minimizes headroom and thus, leads to economy. In this paper the nonlinear analysis and design ...

Abstract: The prediction of the ultimate load capacity of composite bridges of slab‐on‐I‐steel girder construction is necessary. This is dictated by design requirements for the ultimate limit states of such bridges. In this paper, ...

Abstract: In the last four decades, soil‐metal structures have been used extensively as short‐span bridges. With deep soil cover, the soil provides the necessary support for the metallic structure. However, for long spans and shallow ...

Abstract: Horizontally curved, wide flat structures are quite often used as superstructures of bridges and as floor slabs in large exhibition halls. Such structures are built in reinforced or prestressed concrete construction, or ...

Abstract: The use of curved composite bridges in interchanges of modern highway systems has become increasingly popular for economic and aesthetic considerations. Bridges with a concrete deck composite with a steel multicell section ...

Abstract: Simply supported structures are used efficiently for bridges up to a certain span limit, beyond which the use of continuous structures becomes more economical. As a result of continuity, support moments are developed and ...

Abstract: Composite steel-concrete multicell box girder bridges are quite often used in modern bridge superstructures with curved alignments. They provide excellent torsional resistance as well as elegant appearance. While current ...

Abstract: During the last few decades, composite steel-concrete structures have been used widely to form the basic superstructure for numerous bridges. Proper design of the deck slab for such bridges requires a proper estimate of ...
