Abstract: In past decades, significant progress has been made in prediction of the behavior of posttensioned anchorage zones. An aspect that has not been sufficiently cleared up yet, however, is the service behavior of posttensioned ...

Abstract: The strut-and-tie model (STM) has been adopted as a preferred methodology for the design of disturbed regions; however, an aspect that has not yet been sufficiently cleared up is the service behavior of structural concrete ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on an investigation of transverse joint details with tight bend diameter U-bars for accelerated bridge construction. It presents the testing results of potential alternate reinforcing materials and joint ...
