Abstract: With the public’s demands for reduced construction time and traveling delays, full-depth precast bridge decks or decked bulb tees are being more widely used. When these systems are used, precast elements are brought to the ...

Abstract: Recycled powder (RP), generated from construction waste, can be used as supplementary cementitious material. It is promising to use recycled powder in reactive powder concrete (RPC) to develop a green high-performance ...

Abstract: This study presents a numerical model to evaluate the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel bars. The bond–slip action between the reinforcing bars and the ...

Abstract: Recycled powder (RP), generated from construction waste, can be used as supplementary cementitious material. It is promising to use recycled powder in reactive powder concrete (RPC) to develop a green high-performance ...

Abstract: Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of steel and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars exhibit promising strength, serviceability, and durability. The fatigue performance of concrete beams with hybrid ...

Abstract: Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of steel and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars can provide increased strength, serviceability, and durability. However, the amounts of FRP and steel necessary to ensure ...

Abstract: Accurate deterioration models play a critical role in designing and managing transportation infrastructure. Regular models simply consider loading factor and its relative uncertainties. However, climate and environment ...

Abstract: Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of steel and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars can provide increased strength, serviceability, and durability. However, the amounts of FRP and steel necessary to ensure ...

Abstract: When precast full-depth deck panels and/or decked bulb-Ts (DBTs) are used for accelerated bridge construction, transverse joints exist. In this study, continuous transverse U-bar joint details, which can provide negative ...

Abstract: Continuous longitudinal U-bar joint details for accelerated bridge construction are investigated. Four pairs of full-scale slabs connected by a U-bar detail with one of the selected closure-pour materials were tested under ...
