Long-Term In Situ Performance Investigation of Orthotropic Steel Bridge Deck Strengthened by SPS and RPC Solutions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The development of fatigue cracks in orthotropic steel bridge decks is a problem that bridge engineers are facing and need to solve urgently. A modified overlay is usually used to strengthen an orthotropic steel bridge ... -
Impact Response and Capacity of Precast Concrete Segmental versus Monolithic Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, the performance of precast concrete segmental bridge columns (PCSBCs) against truck impacts was numerically investigated and compared with a corresponding conventional monolithic column (CMC). The numerical ... -
Seismic Performance of Precast Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders Using Field-Cast Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precast concrete bridges have many advantages over cast-in-place construction. Prefabrication typically requires less time at the site due to the ease of installation. Furthermore, production in a controlled environment ... -
Friction Coefficients for Slide-In Bridge Construction Using PTFE and Steel Sliding Bearings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Slide-in bridge construction (SIBC) has been used in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) for the last decade. Slide-in bridge construction is carried out using bearing pads consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ... -
Rehabilitation of Longitudinal Joints in Double-Tee Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precast prestressed double-tee girder bridges are common on county bridges in South Dakota. However, the longitudinal joints of these bridges are rapidly deteriorating, causing girder replacement after only 45 years of ... -
Seismic Response of Single Pylon Cable-Stayed Bridge under Scour Effect
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)For a bridge located in a seismically active and flood-prone region, the occurrence of earthquakes combined with flood-induced scour is a highly possible multihazard event. This study quantifies the scour effect on the ... -
Monitoring and Simulation of Long-Term Performance of Precast Concrete Segmental Box Girders with Dry Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precast concrete segmental (PCS) box girders are popular in bridge construction, although structural deterioration due to creep and shrinkage has been a concern. In contrast to the extensive studies on shear and bending ... -
Experimental Study on Structural Performance of Prefabricated Composite Box Girder with Corrugated Webs and Steel Tube Slab
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)We present an innovative prefabricated composite box girder with corrugated webs and concrete-filled steel tube slab to prevent cracking in the web and reduce the self-weight, which is suitable for long-span structures. ... -
Pile Cap Interaction with Bridge Pile Foundations under Lateral Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The paper presents an analytical pile–cap soil model to determine the lateral resistance of a pile cap in sandy soils and its contribution to the lateral resistance of the bridge pile group–cap foundation system of pinned ... -
Quantifying Bonding Characteristics between UHPC and Normal-Strength Concrete for Bridge Deck Application
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cementitious material which has excellent mechanical and durability properties, making it appropriate for the rehabilitation of concrete structures. This paper investigates ... -
Design of Horizontally Curved Steel Bridge Girders with Tubular Flanges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study presents a practical approach for the design of horizontally curved steel I-shaped bridge girders with tubes as flanges [i.e., tubular flange girders (TFGs)]. Previous research has shown that the large torsional ... -
Shear Strength of Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations of the shear strength of synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete (SYN-FRC) box culverts designed for fill height of 610 mm (2 ft) or less and subjected to the ... -
Experimental and Analytical Investigation on Pull-Out Performance of Multihole Thin-Rib Perfobond Connectors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Perfobond connectors are commonly used to transfer the shear force with the transverse bar sheared off as the failure mode in steel–concrete composite structures. However, the perfobond connectors used to prevent the ... -
Durability Evaluation of Headed Shear Studs Embedded in Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete via Electrochemical Corrosion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Corrosion is one of the most common sources of deterioration for steel girder bridges, especially in regions where deicing chemicals are frequently used. Over time, the end-bearing capacity of the girder is significantly ... -
