Abstract: Full‐depth structural concrete overlays in bridge deck rehabilitation require special interface design and construction joint preparation between the old bridge deck and the overlay in order to ensure monolithic structural ...

Abstract: The horizontal load‐transfer behavior of full‐depth structural concrete overlays used in bridge deck rehabilitation is investigated with a specially developed analytical model and compared with test results from full‐scale ...

Abstract: Current processes for design and detailing in structural engineering are often broken up into a sequence of partial processes because of the complexity of the problem. But sequential additions of separate solutions rarely ...

Abstract: The first U.S. full‐scale five‐story building test under simulated seismic loads was conducted at the University of California, San Diego. The full‐scale reinforced masonry (RM) research building consisted of coupled, ...

Abstract: Compression tests were conducted on two reduced-scale orthotropic plates to verify the design strength of steel box girders for the new San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. The first specimen was composed of three longitudinal ...

Abstract: The current approach for seismic retrofit of bridge columns in California involves extensive use of steel jacketing, which has been shown to be very effective in enhancing the flexural and shear performance of deficient ...

Abstract: To verify new design guidelines for reinforced‐masonry (RM) buildings in seismic zones, a full‐scale five‐story RM research building was tested at the University of California, San Diego, under simulated seismic loads. ...
