Abstract: Steel degradation due to corrosion in prestressed concrete bridges has been of major concern as it presents a threat to the integrity of structures adjacent to marine environments or where deicing salts are regularly used. ...

Abstract: Four full-scale exterior bent cap connections utilizing plain pile embedment were evaluated for suitability in seismic regions. A self-reacting test setup was used to investigate the special case of reverse axial tension ...

Abstract: Long-term corrosion tests were performed on prestressed T-girders measuring 4.98 m (16 ft, 4 in.). The test program was composed of four specimens, including one control. The specimens were subjected to wet/dry cycles using ...

Abstract: Acoustic emission was used in this study to assess the condition of a simple-span, prestressed concrete bridge located in southern New Mexico during a proof test. The 40-year-old bridge is county owned and no design plans ...
