Abstract: With the public’s demands for reduced construction time and traveling delays, full-depth precast bridge decks or decked bulb tees are being more widely used. When these systems are used, precast elements are brought to the ...

Abstract: One of the promising systems for accelerated bridge construction is the use of the decked precast prestressed concrete girders or decked bulb-tee girders for the bridge superstructure. Using the calibrated three-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental study about the behavior of honeycomb fiber-reinforced polymer (HFRP) sandwich structure with corrugated cores under the combined effects of service load and low-temperature cycling ...

Abstract: Because of the short construction season and cold winters in Alaska, the prestressed concrete decked bulb-tee bridge system is very popular. However, the concrete deck is an integral part of the bridge superstructure and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the equivalent strip width for stiffness-driven design of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) superstructures in slab-type bridges. To calculate the deflections for design, this paper first presents a tractable ...

Abstract: A theoretical method, termed the mesoscale fiber-matrix discrete model (MFDM), has been developed that can be used for estimating the shear contribution of steel fibers and calculating shear strength of ultrahigh-performance ...

Abstract: Perforated shear connectors (PSCs) in steel–concrete composite joints are usually deeply embedded in concrete, and the perforated plate thickness varies significantly, which is different from those in a steel–concrete ...

Abstract: Based on experimental results including the crack pattern and maximum applied strut stress, as well as on stress states obtained using a nonlinear finite-element analysis, it is identified that the typical critical shear ...

Abstract: Public transportation is vulnerable to terrorist attacks due to its accessibility, especially bridges in the highway and urban systems under blast loading. Prefabricated segmental reinforced concrete (PSRC) piers are one ...

Abstract: The rapid advancement of additive manufacturing technologies for concrete construction requires further understanding of material performance and its relationship with print parameters such as interlayer time-lapse and ...
