Abstract: The research program discussed in this paper included both experimental and computational investigations of structural capacity effects on bridge columns by simulating observed column damage. For the experimental research, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of static live load tests performed on several spans of the San Antonio “Y” Project, Phase IIC, prior to its opening to traffic. The San Antonio “Y” Project is an urban viaduct comprising ...

Abstract: This paper presents concrete temperature data through the depth of a segmental box girder bridge. These data were collected continuously over a

Abstract: A series of fresh property tests and accelerated corrosion tests were used to develop grouts that combine favorable grouting properties with good corrosion protection. The grouts were then pumped into a clear duct with ...

Abstract: Transverse prestressing of bridge decks is an attractive concept with substantial benefits in both economy and improved durability. This paper summarizes a series of interrelated physical tests and computer analyses which ...

Abstract: Emulsifiable oils are often used in posttensioned construction to reduce friction losses and provide temporary corrosion protection for tendons prior to grouting. This paper addresses the effects of two emulsifiable oils ...
