Abstract: This state-of-the-art paper presents the results of a comprehensive literature review of the cause of transverse deck cracking. It includes compilation of experimental and analytical research results as well as survey ...

Abstract: Early transverse cracking is one of the dominant forms of bridge deck defects experienced by a large number of transportation agencies. These cracks often initiate soon after the bridge deck is constructed, and they are ...

Abstract: The effect of nonproportionally fluctuating axial load on the inelastic cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is investigated. For this purpose, a uniaxial flexural model is developed where columns are ...

Abstract: This paper describes a simple method to estimate tensile stresses due to early age time dependent loadings in concrete bridge decks with full composite action between the deck and girder. These stresses can cause transverse ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and construction of an innovative dual-purpose screen that can block headlight glare while having adequate height to deter pedestrian crossover. Glare screens are used to shield drivers from ...
