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 presents built-up press brake-formed tub girders (PBTGs) as a new approach for the fabrication of resilient, short-span steel bridges. In contrast to existing PBTGs that are cold bent from a single steel plate, ...

Abstract: This paper experimentally and numerically evaluates the participation of bridge rail in carrying live load through (1) performing field testing on steel and prestressed concrete girder bridges; (2) developing validated ...
