Abstract: Pipe-pin two-way hinge details were recently developed by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to eliminate moments while transferring shear and axial loads from integral bridge bent caps to reinforced concrete ...

Abstract: Shake table experiments and analyses of a large-scale precast two-column bent with advanced materials in plastic hinge zones were conducted to develop bridge bents for use in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in moderate ...

Abstract: This study conducts shake table studies and analysis of a large-scale novel posttensioned (PT) precast bridge column connected to a precast footing with a pocket connection. The primary objective is to develop a resilient ...
