Abstract: A nonlinear finite element (FE) technique is used to study the bond mechanism at the steel/concrete interface in reinforced concrete (RC) tie members. The accuracy of three different FE bond models, namely, the perfect ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a new bridge deck slab flange-to-flange connection system for precast deck bulb tee (DBT) girders. In prefabricated bridge system made of DBT girders, the concrete deck slab is cast with the prestressed ...
