Abstract: This paper presents part of an investigation on the failure modes in reinforced concrete bridge decks subjected to monotonic static concentrated wheel-loads. The punching shear deck failure appears to be interrelated with ...

Abstract: The objective of the presented study is to examine the effects of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite rehabilitation systems on the fatigue performance of reinforced concrete beams. Experiments were conducted ...

Abstract: This study examines the effects of one-dimensional fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite rehabilitation systems on the flexural fatigue performance of reinforced concrete bridge girders. Eight

Abstract: The use of novel built-up columns as structural members is investigated. The columns are fabricated from dimensional timber and connected with mechanically applied adhesive, using a proprietary system. An extensive test ...

Abstract: Tests were conducted under a concentrated monotonically increasing static wheel load on 1/6.6-scale physical models of three different types of noncomposite deck structure: (1) the entire deck supported on four steel ...

Abstract: The majority of experimental work involving the flexural retrofit of concrete bridge girders has been conducted on beam specimens with adhesive-applied, soffit-mounted, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite systems, ...

Abstract: An experimental study is presented of the behavior of eight reinforced concrete bridge girders taken from a decommissioned Interstate bridge and retrofitted with three different carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

Abstract: An experimental study of principal strains and deflections of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite bridge deck systems is presented. The experimental results are shown to correlate well with those of an analytical ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation of the monotonic and fatigue behavior of one-way and two-way reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. The five one-way ...

Abstract: A novel experimental method using modified double cantilever beam specimens and a customized test frame are introduced to evaluate bond characteristics and toughness of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite overlays and ...
