Abstract: This paper presents the results from a study on the deterioration patterns of highway bridges, using estimated sojourn times of bridge components in various deterioration states (condition). With emphasis on the age that ...

Abstract: Stainless steel strands are a new technology and option available for the bridge industry. They have high corrosion resistance, which will result in more durable and low-maintenance concrete bridges. However, stainless ...

Abstract: Concrete bridges in extremely aggressive environments deteriorate mainly from corrosion of carbon steel prestressing strands and rebars. In prestressed concrete girders, corrosion might occur in the transverse reinforcement, ...

Abstract: Metal-plated wood truss systems may be rained upon during the construction phase, resulting in the soaking of the connections. In this paper, the results of an investigation of the behavior of metal-plated wood joints ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of impact tests on a roof system constructed with expanded metal mesh welded to a steel frame. The roof system was designed to be installed on a masonry structure that will protect an emergency ...
