Abstract: Bridges consisting of full-depth precast concrete deck panels connected to steel girders are an increasingly popular option for accelerated bridge replacement. In designing the shear connectors for this bridge type, fatigue ...

Abstract: Increasing demand for the rapid and economical construction of bridges has encouraged engineers to use accelerated bridge construction through modular assembly. Full-depth, precast concrete decks connected to steel girders ...
