Abstract: Old reinforced concrete slab bridges designed for smaller truck loads are called on to carry the modern, heavier, loads. These bridges, when rated according to the current American Association of State Highway and ...

Abstract: The objective of the present study was to experimentally evaluate the statistics of dynamically induced stress levels in steel through-truss bridges as a function of bridge component type, component peak static stress, ...

Abstract: The present study focuses on the mechanical response of concrete columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRP). Practical columns often deviate from axisymmetric conditions due to noncircular cross section, ...

Abstract: An analytical tension-stiffening model was developed for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets bonded to reinforced concrete based on equilibrium equations and the assumption of linear behavior between bond stress and slip. ...
