Analysis of diagonally cracked conventionally reinforced concrete girders in the service load range

Creator:: Robelo, Melissa J.
Abstract:: Performance evaluation of conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge superstructure elements with diagonal cracks is of interest to the bridge engineering community. Standardized methods to predict service-level stress magnitudes in cracked bridge girders under combined bending and shear forces are not available. An analysis procedure was developed to determine the response...

Investigation of the behavior of diagonally cracked full-scale CRC deck-girders injected with epoxy resin and subjected to axial tension

Creator:: Smith, Matthew T. (Matthew Todd)
Abstract:: Article 1: Behavior of Epoxy Injected Diagonally Cracked Full-Scale CRC Deck-Girders. Many cast-in place reinforced concrete deck-girder bridges (RCDG) remain in the national inventory and exhibit diagonal cracking. Epoxy injection has been in use for several decades as a method for sealing diagonal cracks, but the effects on girder behavior...

High-cycle fatigue response of diagonally-cracked conventionally reinforced concrete bridge girders

Creator:: Lee, Ae-young S.
Abstract:: The behavior of stirrups engaged by diagonal cracks and under service loads is largely unknown. Full-size laboratory specimens were loaded to induce diagonal cracks and subjected to high-cycle fatigue loading to represent a service life of 50 years. Tests indicated little change in the average stirrup stress range and mean...

Analysis of conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges for shear

Creator:: Potisuk, Tanarat
Abstract:: Large numbers of 1950's vintage conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridges remain in-service in the national bridge inventory. Many of these bridges are lightly reinforced for shear. Evaluation of these bridges to prevent unnecessary and costly repairs requires refined analytical techniques. This dissertation presents finite element (FE) modeling and comparisons of...

Reliability based bridge assessment using modified compression field theory and Oregon specific truck loading

Creator:: Daniels, Theresa Kathryn
Abstract:: Assessment of an existing bridge is needed when the structure exhibits signs of distress. Assessment practices require refinement in the calculation of loading and resistance while maintaining an acceptable level of risk, to minimize costs associated with repair, replacement and weight restrictions. Previous risk-based assessments evaluated the strength cases for...

Testing and evaluation of flexural reinforcing bars terminating in columns

Creator:: Koester, Carl C.
Abstract:: Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...

Finite element modeling of reinforced concrete bridge columns with steel jackets using plastic hinge integration

Creator:: Carlton, Adam K.
Abstract:: In recent years confinement requirements for concrete columns have increased in seismic regions. Steel jackets are one way to confine reinforced concrete columns. The increased confinement provides additional strength and ductility for the columns during seismic events. For reinforced concrete columns with steel jackets, there are different section properties in...

Scale effects on reinforced concrete beams strengthened for shear with discrete externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer U-wraps

Creator:: Dawson, Matthew Ryan
Abstract:: Current ACI design provisions for shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps may not adequately account for the effect of scale. This paper describes tests of 6 geometrically scaled beams to identify possible scale effects of such beams. Results indicated that effective...

Nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures strengthened with FRP laminates

Creator:: Chansawat, Kasidit
Abstract:: The Horsetail Creek (HC) bridge is an example of an Oregon bridge that was classified as structurally deficient and was not designed to withstand earthquake (EQ) excitations. A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rehabilitation was performed on the HC bridge to increase flexural and shear capacities for traffic loads. However, a seismic...

Investigation of the fatigue behavior of diagonally-cracked CRC deck-girders repaired with CFRP

Creator:: Williams, Grahme T.
Abstract:: Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are becoming more widely used for repair and strengthening of conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge members. Once installed, the repair may be exposed to millions of load cycles during service life. The anticipated life of FRP repairs for shear strengthening of bridge members under repeated service...
