Abstract: A large number of cracks were observed in a bridge seal structure during an underwater inspection. The seal is 13.2  m long, 5.9  m wide, and 6.8  m deep and thus is considered mass concrete. The concrete mixture contains ...

Abstract: State agencies/provinces and civil engineers must remain current in forensic pavement investigation procedures and inspection technologies to efficiently maintain public roads. Preliminary pavement investigation procedures ...

Abstract: Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) is commonly used in roadway construction as an economical choice when distributed steel reinforcement is not necessary. The performance of JPCP depends on the joint load transfer ...

Abstract: This study investigates full-depth deck cracks observed on a skewed bridge, which was constructed using self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs). To investigate the causes, three main factors associated with structural ...

Abstract: Current strategies for prioritizing bridge preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement (MRR) include predicting future conditions by delineating depreciation rates from existing conditions and preventive MRR ...

Abstract: Temporal discounting is a cognitive behavior with important implications in preparing for high-impact and low-probability events. Evaluation of live-load effects has a great influence on the design, maintenance, and ...

Abstract: The utilization of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) has been widely used throughout the United States during the construction of interstate highways since the 1930s. The essential design criterion of CRCP ...
