Abstract: The knowledge about the cyclic behavior and effects of fatigue on interfaces between concrete cast at different times, subjected to shear stress, is still very limited. This aspect is particularly relevant in structures ...

Abstract: Continuous bridge decks constructed with precast girders undergo significant stress changes caused by the concrete delayed deformations because of creep and shrinkage. These effects must be taken into account in the design ...

Abstract: The calculation of minimum required prestressing levels in prestressed bridge deck girders is usually governed by serviceability requirements in terms of allowable stress levels. In the case of continuous structures, ...
