Abstract: The flexural capacity rating of prestressed girders having severed or corroded strands often progresses by simply neglecting the contribution of the affected strands from the girder section and assessing the capacity. While ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a relatively recent approach to managing and extending the useful life of bridge infrastructure elements. To be useful, SHM techniques must be robust, rapidly deployable, and yield ...

Abstract: Research has shown that exterior girders of adjacent box (AB) beam bridges act compositely with their barrier wall and curb slab assemblies, resulting in a highly asymmetric cross section. Additionally, impact damage from ...

Abstract: Collisions between overheight vehicles and bridges are becoming more commonplace. Generally, collision damage is far from catastrophic, although sound repair techniques are critical if additional damage (typically related ...
