Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a comprehensive experimental study to quantify the effects of strain rate on concrete compressive and tensile strengths. Direct compression and splitting ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis is conducted to determine the critical impact velocities for concrete dolos. The model formulation includes deformations at the contact surface and nonlinear material ...

Abstract: Many reinforced concrete bridges throughout the United States on county and state highway systems are deteriorated and/or distressed to such a degree that structural strengthening of the bridge or reducing the allowable ...
