Abstract: This paper investigates the evaluation procedure of an AASHTO Type 3 precast-prestressed girder that was extensively damaged by truck impact and then repaired using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. ...

Abstract: In the era of modernization, solid round steel bars are widely used in communication towers, which play a vital role in today’s world. Solid steel round bars are used as leg members, diagonal members, and horizontal members ...

Abstract: Deterioration of concrete bridge barriers as a result of corrosion of internal steel reinforcement in severe environmental conditions is a major problem. Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are currently used as an ...

Abstract: The use of curved composite bridges in interchanges of modern highway systems has become increasingly popular for economic and aesthetic considerations. Bridges with a concrete deck composite with a steel multicell section ...

Abstract: Composite steel-concrete multicell box girder bridges are quite often used in modern bridge superstructures with curved alignments. They provide excellent torsional resistance as well as elegant appearance. While current ...

Abstract: In recent years, horizontally curved bridges have been widely used in congested urban areas, where multilevel interchange structures are necessary for modern highways. In bridges with light curvature, the curvature effects ...

Abstract: Precast prestressed double-tee (DT) girders are considered a crucial element of modern infrastructure used to accelerate building construction worldwide. These girders can be deficient because of local damages and develop ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide highlights of the most important references related to the development of current guide specifications for the design of straight and curved box-girder bridges. Subjects discussed ...

Abstract: The curvilinear nature of box girder bridges along with their complex deformation patterns and stress fields have led designers to adopt approximate and conservative methods for their analyses and design. Recent literature ...

Abstract: The use of horizontally curved composite box-girder bridges in modern highway systems has become increasingly popular for economic as well as for aesthetic considerations. Based on a recent literature review on the design ...
