Abstract: This paper investigates the evaluation procedure of an AASHTO Type 3 precast-prestressed girder that was extensively damaged by truck impact and then repaired using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. ...

Abstract: In the era of modernization, solid round steel bars are widely used in communication towers, which play a vital role in today’s world. Solid steel round bars are used as leg members, diagonal members, and horizontal members ...

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: 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: Precast prestressed double-tee (DT) girders are considered a crucial element of modern infrastructure used to accelerate building construction worldwide. These girders can be deficient because of local damages and develop ...

Abstract: The use of horizontally curved composite box-girder bridges in modern highway systems has become increasingly popular for economic as well as for aesthetic considerations. Based on a recent literature review on the design ...

Abstract: Modern highway bridges are often subject to tight geometric restrictions and, in many cases, must be built in curved alignment. These bridges may have a cross section in the form of a multiple steel box girder composite ...

Abstract: The use of horizontally curved composite multiple-box girder bridges in modern highway systems is quite suitable in resisting torsional and warping effects induced by highway curvatures. Bridge users react adversely to ...

Abstract: The results from a parametric study on the impact factors for 180 curved continuous composite multiple-box girder bridges are presented. Expressions for the impact factors for

Abstract: The sequence of loading during construction of simply supported skewed bridges influences the magnitude of stresses developed in the girders and is usually not explicitly addressed in design codes. Many designers and ...
