Abstract: The loads, construction procedures, and material behavior influence the performance of the bridge deck as well as its structural integrity. This paper includes a thorough investigation to identify the probable causes of ...

Abstract: A group of five full-depth male–female shear key specimens were match cast and tested to examine the shear capacity of epoxy-jointed single keys. Another group of four specimens were match cast using full-scale dimensions ...

Abstract: It has been suggested that the reinforcing fiber size and the spacing between the reinforcing fibers play a dominant role in determining the fracture properties of cementitious composite materials. In the present study, ...

Abstract: An extensive experimental program was performed to evaluate the structural behavior of a novel fully prefabricated noise barrier wall system. The experimental investigation entailed the fabrication and testing of two ...

Abstract: An extensive laboratory experimental program was conducted to develop high-performance fibrous latex-modified concrete (LMC) and microsilica concrete (MSC) overlay mixtures based on target performance characteristics. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and nonlinear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) results of circular short reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined externally with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) subjected to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation on the effects of construction loads and vibrations on typical newly poured reinforced concrete bridge decks. The main objective of this paper was to perform dynamic finite-element ...

Abstract: Plain and fibrous latex modified concrete and microsilica concrete overlays with acceptable laboratory strength and durability characteristics were installed on a full-scale prototype bridge deck for field performance ...
