Abstract: Full-depth precast deck slab cantilevers also referred to as full-depth precast concrete bridge deck overhang panels are becoming increasingly popular in concrete bridge deck construction. To date, no simple theory is able ...

Abstract: Modern concrete bridge decks commonly consist of stay-in-place (SIP) precast panels seated on precast concrete beams and topped with cast-in-place (CIP) reinforced concrete. Such composite bridge decks have been experimentally ...

Abstract: The performance of a new full-depth precast overhang panel system for concrete bridge decks is investigated experimentally. In contrast to conventional cast-in-place deck overhangs, the proposed full-depth precast overhang ...

Abstract: Existing welded steel moment frames are designed to tolerate substantial yielding and plastic rotation under earthquake loads. This sacrificial design approach can lead to permanent, and often irreparable damage when ...
