Pseudostatic Behavior of Precast Piers with Composite Pier–Pile Cap Connections: Experimental Investigation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A novel composite connection, the steel–concrete composite connection with notched perfobond connectors (NPCs), is proposed for bridge pier–pile cap joint in this paper. In the steel–concrete composite connection with NPCs ...
Salient Differences in Tropical Cyclone Activity over the Western North Pacific between 1998 and 2016
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrevious studies have suggested that tropical cyclone (TC) seasons over the western North Pacific (WNP) in the decaying years of El Niño events are generally less active than normal. The two strongest El Niño events ...
Numerical and Theoretical Analysis of Slab Transverse-Moment Distributions in Twin-Girder Crossbeam Composite Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In twin-girder crossbeam composite (TGCBC) bridges, the concrete slab supported only by steel plate girders is typically regarded as a one-way slab, and its transverse bending moments are essential for structural optimization ...
Cross-Sectional Moment Capacity Prediction of Steel Box Girders Based on the CSM
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose the prediction method of the cross-sectional moment capacity for continuous steel box girder bridges based on the continuous strength method (CSM). First, the critical buckling ...
Concrete Additional Stress near Intermediate Support for Composite Girder Bridges with Corrugated Steel Webs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes an innovative method to calculate the normal stress of concrete slabs near the intermediate support for composite girder bridges with corrugated steel webs (CSWs). The shear stiffness of CSWs is lower ...
Numerical Simulation of Non-Fick Moisture Diffusion of Pultruded Composite GFRP Bridge Deck Plates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Long-term exposure to a harsh environment leads to irreversible degradation of mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) profiles. Understanding the aging effects on pultruded FRP composites due to long-term ...
Behavior of Stud Shear Connectors with Increasing Concrete Strength
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the mechanism for the enhanced load-bearing capacity of stud connectors owing to an increase in concrete strength, the push-out test is analyzed using nonlinear finite-element (FE) models. A distinct failure ...
Experimental Study on Structural Performance of Prefabricated Composite Box Girder with Corrugated Webs and Steel Tube Slab
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We present an innovative prefabricated composite box girder with corrugated webs and concrete-filled steel tube slab to prevent cracking in the web and reduce the self-weight, which is suitable for long-span structures. ...
