Abstract: This study was concerned with vibrations induced during drilled shaft construction on green concrete in adjacent drilled shafts. To characterize the types of vibrations, a full-scale field test was conducted using a 0.9-m ...

Abstract: Alternative earthen final covers are being considered throughout North America as cost-effective alternatives to prescriptive covers. Regulatory agencies typically require field testing to demonstrate the equivalency of ...

Abstract: Out-of-plane stresses due to the wedging effect of the strands caused high stress concentration at the end of the transition zone of Florida bulbtee girders. Adding the hydrostatic stresses due to grout pressure in the ...

Abstract: The secondary spiral and skin reinforcement in the anchorage zone of prestressed posttensioned girders causes congestion and poses difficulty in the placement of concrete. It is also labor intensive to produce and place ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from an investigation into the performance of concrete bridge decks designed with the empirical design method. Compressive membrane/arching action (CMAA) behavior in bridge decks has been ...
