Seismic Performance of High-Strength Steel RC Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the results of a testing program developed to assess the performance of circular RC bridge columns constructed with ASTM A706 Grade 80 [550] high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcement. Two pairs of columns ... -
Testing and Evaluation of Polyurethane-Based GFRP Sandwich Bridge Deck Panels with Polyurethane Foam Core
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the evaluation of an innovative low-cost small-scale prototype deck panel under monotonic and fatigue bending. This new system introduces a trapezoidal-shaped polyurethane foam core with a thermoset ... -
Estimation of Cascadia Local Tsunami Loads on Pacific Northwest Bridge Superstructures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The time histories of Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) local tsunami horizontal and vertical loads and the overturning moment on four selected Oregon coastal bridges are computed for different load scenarios. These scenarios, ... -
Response of Bridges Isolated by Shape Memory–Alloy Rubber Bearing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The present paper deals with optimum performance of the shape memory–alloy-based rubber bearing (SMARB) compared with the conventionally adopted lead rubber bearing (LRB) for isolating the bridge deck against a random ... -
Experimental Study of Seamless Bridge Transition System for U.S. Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Expansion joints are one of the main causes for high maintenance costs in bridges. In this paper, a seamless bridge system is presented that provides for bridges with long service lives by eliminating the joints over the ... -
Simplified Portable Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System Using Accelerometers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Monitoring traffic loads is crucial for effective steel bridge maintenance because fatigue damage in steel bridges is caused by the long-term cumulative effect of traffic loads. This article presents a simplified portable ... -
Experimental Comparison of the Performance and Residual Capacity of CFFT and RC Bridge Columns Subjected to Blasts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The blast performance of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) bridge columns was studied through a two-phase study comprised of blast and residual axial capacity experiments. Two one-fifth-scale CFFT ... -
Shake-Table Test for a Typical Curved Bridge: Wave Passage and Local Site Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)To study the effects of ground motion spatial variations on curved bridges, this paper presents a shake-table test for a 1/10-scale typical curved bridge under spatial ground motions, including wave passage effect, local ... -
Empirical Design Rules for Effective Utilization of Orthotropic Decks
