Abstract: Tension stiffening phenomenon plays a vital role in serviceability of nonprestressed reinforced concrete (RC) beams as it enhances the postcracking flexural stiffness leading to a smaller deflection, accordingly. However, ...

Abstract: Full-depth precast concrete panels expedite the construction process, enhance the safety and quality controls, and reduce the on-site labor requirements for bridge deck slab applications. However, corrosion-induced ...

Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have been increasingly used in bridge deck slabs over the last decades to overcome corrosion issues. However, there is still a critical need for a rational method to analyze the load ...

Abstract: While application of full-depth precast bridge deck panels may be appealing because of an accelerated construction schedule and improved safety conditions, corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major factor affecting the ...

Abstract: The lower elastic modulus of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars over steel rebar renders the postcracking deflection of FRP concrete beams critical under serviceability limit states. To predict the deflection of FRP ...
