Abstract: Two sections from a decommissioned bridge were salvaged and tested to quantify flexure and punching shear capacities. The salvaged bridge sections each consisted of two built-up, steel-plate girders, compositely attached ...

Abstract: Seven prestressed concrete bridge girders that had been in service for 42 years, and represented two span lengths and reinforcement designs, were tested to determine their effective prestress force and ultimate shear ...

Abstract: Sixteen shear capacity tests were performed on eight decommissioned AASHTO prestressed concrete girders that had been in service for over 42 years. These bridge members presented a unique opportunity to investigate carbon ...
