Abstract: Experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to evaluate the performance of a newly developed bridge system. Through the investigation, a decked bulb T-beam bridge model was constructed, instrumented, and tested ...

Abstract: This study introduces an innovative scheme of bridge superstructure for expedited construction, improved serviceability, and extended life span. The new bridge superstructure is assembled from precast prestressed decked bulb

Abstract: This paper will present the results from an experimental study to examine the effect of severe environmental conditions on the performance of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) prestressed concrete members. Six 4.8 m ...

Abstract: Prestressed with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strands, a 42.2 m (138.3 ft) long single-span highway bridge superstructure was recently constructed to carry Interstate I-75 Highway over Sexton/Kilfoil Drain in ...

Abstract: Although prestressing carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strands outperform steel strands on different levels, such as strength and durability, their performance under elevated temperatures remains a susceptible design ...
