Compressive Strength and Modulus of Elasticity Relationships for Alabama Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders 

Hofrichter, Andric (2014-07-09)
The state of Alabama constructs many of its bridges using precast, prestressed concrete bridge girders. There is a desire to more accurately predict girder cambers through the time of deck placement. Proper understanding ...

Development of composite beam theory and its application in composite and prestressed concrete structures 

Bai, Fengtao (2016-05-13)
For some complex structural engineering problems like behavior of sandwich structures and prestressed concrete structures, extensive experimental works and finite element analyses might not be able to help understand the ...

Development, Testing, and Analysis of a Rotational Friction Connection for Improving the Seismic Performance of Metal Building Systems with Hard Walls 

Langley, Michael (2018-07-27)
The use of metal building systems has become commonplace in today’s society. For well over two decades, the performance of metal building systems during seismic events has been the subject of intense research. It was ...

Experimental Evaluation of the Static Strength and Ductility of Large Diameter Shear Studs in Composite Bridge Construction 

Veclotch, Jason (2013-04-19)
A number of bridges in the United States consist of steel girders with concrete decks attached via shear studs which will require replacement in the future. With a growing interest in rapid deck replacement for bridges ...

Improving Camber Predictions for Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders 

Mante, David M. (2016-05-03)
In precast, prestressed concrete construction, the eccentricity of the prestressing force typically results in a net upward girder deflection known as camber. Camber is first observed at the time of prestress transfer and ...

Investigation of the Use of Steel Intermediate Diaphragms and Temporary Bracing Alternatives for Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges 

Dupaquier, Samantha (2014-04-23)
Common in bridge construction today, diaphragms are placed transverse to the girders, connecting adjacent girders to provide stability and transmit loads. Diaphragms are defined as either end diaphragms – used at the ends ...

Live-Load Response of In-Service Bridge Constructed with Precast, Prestressed Self- Consolidating Concrete Girders 

Miller, David (2013-11-08)
In order to assess the viability of a bridge constructed with precast, prestressed, self-consolidating concrete (SCC) bridge girders in the state of Alabama, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) sponsored an ...

Model for Permit Loads for Barnes Slough Bridge 

Garmestani, Golpar (2016-12-09)
ALDOT has an eleven-span flat slab concrete bridge over Barnes Slough and Jenkins Creek on the northbound side of US Highway 82/231 that was built in 1915 for which there are no construction drawings or other available ...

Quantifying the Fatigue Damage Accumulation in Bridges 

Ramesh Babu, Anjan Mogali (2019-12-05)
Many of the existing bridges in the United States were built during the interstate era and are reaching the end of their life cycle. Traffic-induced loadings are one of the primary factors affecting the service and fatigue ...

Reliability of Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Members 

Aguilar Vidal, Victor Hugo (2020-05-13)
Recent research on one-way shear strength and strut-and-tie design approach has led to updates in the ACI 318 Building code requirements for structural concrete. The changes in one-way shear design provisions in ACI 318-19 ...

Soil-Structure Interaction and Imperfect Trench Installations As Applied To Deeply Buried Conduits 

Kang, Jun (2007-05-15)
The imperfect trench installation method is used to reduce earth pressure on deeply buried conduits. Few quantitative refinements to the imperfect trench installation method, however, have been added since the fundamental ...

Target Reliability Analysis for Structures 

Ghasemi, Seyed Hooman (2015-01-06)
Structural performance depends on load and resistance parameters, in particular magnitude and frequency of load components and their combinations, strength of materials, modulus of elasticity, dimensions, rate of deterioration, ...

Torsional Resistance of Drilled Shaft Foundations 

Aguilar Vidal, Victor Hugo (2018-07-30)
Drilled shaft foundations are commonly selected by public transportation agencies to support mast-arm traffic sign and signal pole structures. Those inverted L-shaped structures are subjected to lateral and torsional loading ...

WIM-Based Live Load Model for Bridges 

Iatsko, Olga (2018-04-24)
The knowledge of the actual live load is essential for a rational management of highway structures. Overloaded vehicles can cause damage including concrete cracking, potholes, excessive vibration and deflection, and even ...
