Dominant Role of Cement Paste Content on Bridge Deck Cracking
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The cracking of concrete bridge decks is a nationwide problem. The results of over 100 crack surveys on 40 monolithic composite concrete bridge deck placements supported by steel girders were used to evaluate the factors ... -
Comparative Study on the Small Radius Curved Bridge and Simplified Models by Shaking Table Tests
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Three experimental structural models of a small radius curved bridge, which include a three-span small radius curved bridge model and its corresponding two different simplified models that are widely used (e.g., one mass ... -
Residual Axial Capacity Estimates for Bridge Columns Subjected to Combined Vehicle Collision and Air Blast
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Columns are the primary load-carrying components in the bridge, and column failure could initiate the collapse of the entire bridge. Estimates of residual axial capacity for round, bridge pier columns under combined vehicle ... -
Shear Capacity of Precast Concrete Shear Keys with Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete for Connections
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)This paper will focus on experimental and analytical investigations into the shear capacity of precast concrete (PC) shear keys with ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) as the connection (UHPC–connection PC shear keys). ... -
Prioritizing Bridge Rehabilitation Plans through Systemic Risk-Guided Classifications
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Although highway bridges are among the most critical components in transportation infrastructure systems, different jurisdictions typically allocate only limited annual budgets to address issues pertaining to aging and ... -
Integral Abutment Connections with Grouted Reinforcing Bar Couplers and Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Use of precast elements in the design and construction of bridges, especially for accelerated bridge construction (ABC), has been gaining traction to minimize the impact of closures resulted from cast-in-place construction. ... -
Structural Behaviors of a Low-Profile Steel Plate–Reinforced UHPC Deck Panel with Longitudinal Ribs
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)This paper proposes a lightweight low-profile steel plate-reinforced ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) deck panel with only longitudinal ribs as an alternative to traditional bridge decks for long-span bridges. The ... -
Ambient and Vehicle-Induced Vibration Data of a Steel Truss Bridge Subject to Artificial Damage
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Ambient and vehicle-induced bridge vibration tests are two important ways of collecting data for the purpose of system identification and performance evaluation of bridges. A common bridge form that has been very popular ... -
Slender GFRP-RC Circular Columns under Concentric, Eccentric, and Flexural Loads: Experimental Investigation
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The experimental results for large-scale slender circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns are presented and discussed in this study. One reference column was reinforced with steel bars and spirals, and five columns were ... -
Concept and Preliminary Static Analysis of Hybrid Anchored Suspension Bridge
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Inspired by the structural system and the construction technique of self-anchored suspension bridges and earth-anchored suspension bridges, a new type of suspension bridge, named hybrid anchored suspension bridge, was ... -
Numerical Analysis on Shear Behavior of Grouped Head Stud Shear Connectors between Steel Girders and Precast Concrete Slabs with High-Strength Concrete-Filled Shear Pockets
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)This study numerically investigated the shear behavior of novel composite shear connectors, which consisted of grouped head studs embedded in high-strength concrete-filled (HSC-filled) shear pockets. The shear pockets were ... -
Quasi-Full-Scale Experimental Study on Bridge Precast Concrete Columns under Static Loading
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Precast concrete columns have been widely used in bridge constructions. Most studies regarding precast columns focused on seismic instead of static behaviors. To investigate the cracking mechanism and failure modes of the ... -
Seismic Response of a Bridge Crossing a Canyon to Near-Fault Acceleration-Pulse Ground Motions
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Previous seismic events have shown that bridges are more susceptible to severe damage when subjected to near-fault ground motions. Near-fault ground motions usually possess obvious pulse-like features in their velocity ... -
Laboratory Investigation of the Structural Performance of a Corrugated Steel Culvert under Increasing Cover Depth
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)The performance of large diameter corrugated steel culverts/pipes under varying cover depth up to deep burial has previously not been investigated in a laboratory setting due to limitations associated with the application ... -
Experimental Investigation of the High-Temperature Performance of High-Strength Steel Suspension Bridge Wire
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Quantification of the mechanical properties of suspension bridge main cables during fire hazards is a vital part of holistic safety assessment of infrastructure. While some researchers have examined the response of main ... -
Mitigation of Vortex-Induced Vibration in Bridges Using Semiactive Tuned Mass Dampers
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)With increases in the span length, the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in bridges often occurs at modest wind velocities. The tuned mass damper (TMD) is very effective in mitigating the VIV, while robustness is a major ... -
Assessment of Second-Order Effect in Externally Prestressed Steel–Concrete Composite Beams
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Externally prestressed steel–concrete composite (EPSCC) beams in their deformed configuration are characterized by changes in the effective depth of external tendons. However, little information is available on this ... -
Behavior of Fiber Reinforced Key Joints in Precast Concrete Segmental Bridge: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
