Abstract: The cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete columns subjected to biaxial bending was determined using a hysteretic element consisting of five axial springs. Four composite springs and one concrete spring are used. Their ...

Abstract: The results of an exploratory experimental and analytical study of six concrete‐graphite/epoxy (CG/E) composite beams are presented. Four of the beams incorporated a reinforced concrete slab to simulate the effect of bridge ...

Abstract: A new graphite/epoxy/concrete (G/E/C) cross section was developed and tested under fatigue loading with constant amplitude for one million cycles. The cross section consisted of a G/E box element, a G/E channel element, a ...

Abstract: A posttensioned, simply supported, box-girder bridge in southern Nevada was instrumented during construction beginning in June 1992. The study was triggered by concerns over the potential adverse effects of low relative ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this study was to determine the effects of changing (1) the cross-sectional area of restrainers; and (2) the restrainer gap on the nonlinear seismic response of a representative bridge with several ...

Abstract: Existing restrainer design methods recommended by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to prevent unseating in simply ...
