Abstract: This paper presents both numerical and experimental studies of the transient response of concrete I-girders with and without flaws subjected to transverse elastic point impact. These studies were aimed at evaluating the ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results of 44 composite beam structures tested under static and fatigue loads. While designing the specimens, variables considered included: (1) the number of shear studs; (2) reinforcing ...

Abstract: This paper presents test results obtained from studies aimed at determining whether the impact-echo method, a nondestructive test technique based on the use of transient stress waves, can be used to trace the initiation ...
