Experimental Investigation on the Residual Shear Behavior of 28-Year-Old Decommissioned Prestressed Concrete Voided Slab Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract A prestressed concrete voided slab girder bridge was decommissioned after 28 years in service near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada, due to severe deterioration. Four interior girders with different deterioration levels ... -
Vehicular Collision Performance Assessment of RC Piers Designed in Accordance with American, European, and Chinese Current Bridge Codes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Current bridge codes in the US, Europe, and China specify different vehicular collision loads and seismic provisions for reinforcement concrete (RC) piers. This paper presents a vehicular collision performance ... -
Reliability Analysis of Road Vehicle and Train-Running Safety When Meeting on a Single-Level Rail-cum-Road Bridge under Crosswind Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Strong crosswinds present substantial safety challenges for road vehicles and trains, especially on long-span bridges. Single-level rail-cum-road bridges, which support both road and rail traffic on a shared deck, ... -
Performance-Based Design and Hazard-Based Risk of Temporary Bridges with Light-Weight Superstructures in California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Existing practice for the design of ordinary bridges is based on a hazard level of 5% in 50 years, corresponding to a return period of approximately 975 years. Extending this approach to the design of temporary ... -
Testing and Evaluation of Posttensioned Concrete Beams with Bonded Curved Tendons Extracted from an Existing 50-Year-Old Viaduct
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Extensive public infrastructure was built in many countries in the 1960s–1980s. As a result, in the coming decade, a large number of aging structures will require safety assessment. The structural assessment is ... -
Application of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete and Sustainably Engineered Cementitious Composites for Link Slabs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Premature failure of expansion joints causes maintenance costs and corrosion issues. Link slabs can be an alternative to expansion joints in bridge structures, aiming to reduce these issues. The choice of material ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Seismic Retrofitting for Hollow RC Columns with Inner Anchored Concrete Filling and Outer CFRP Wrapping
