Abstract: A database of 253 unbonded tendon-reinforced members was assembled and analyzed with a focus on Δfps. Large scatter was observed and gaps were identified in previous databases due to possibly unsuitable inclusion of certain ...

Abstract: Modern advances in steel production have resulted in materials with increased fracture resistance. Material characterization studies have quantified fracture behavior, while large-scale experimental tests have demonstrated ...

Abstract: Fracture resistance of modern bridge steels has improved through advances in material production techniques. The enhanced performance has been quantified through a number of material characterization studies and large-scale ...
