Abstract: Bridge deck systems consisting of a series of full depth precast concrete slab panel modules laid on steel stringers have been used for construction of new bridges as well as for rehabilitation of deteriorated bridge decks ...

Abstract: Three epoxy mortar materials are subjected to failure tests in compression and split‐cylinder tension over a temperature range of −35°–200°F. The tests are completed using 76.22‐mm‐ (3‐in.) diameter, 152.4‐mm‐ (6‐in.‐)long ...

Abstract: For nondestructive evaluation of the structural integrity of a bridge, a set of frequency‐response functions is used as signatures. The signatures are obtained by controlled vibration tests. A number of methods are presented ...

Abstract: The waveform‐recognition techniques introduced in Part I are used to detect the presence of simulated cracks in the girders of a laboratory‐size bridge as well as a highway bridge. Bridge structure is excited by using a ...

Abstract: To enable prediction of the strength of polymer mortars, a failure model is presented. Based on the so‐called Arrhenius kinetic rate equation, a compound dual failure criteria is developed. The proposed model considers the ...
