Application of Titanium Alloy Bars for Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Bridge Girders in Flexure

Creator:

Vavra, Eric

Abstract:

Structurally efficient and cost-effective solutions are needed to extend the service-life of deficient and aging highway infrastructure around the world. One critical need is to increase the flexural strength of older reinforced concrete (RC) structures to carry heavier and more frequent loads. Titanium alloy bars (TiAB) offer a new opportunity...

Seismic Performance of Aging Prestressed Transmission Pole with Simulated Soil Foundation

Creator:

Argo, Maximo

Abstract:

The Cascadia Subduction Zone has recently been identified as a source for an impending great earthquake. The potential of a large earthquake has created widespread interest into the resiliency of lifelines within the potentially affected areas. One critical lifeline is the electrical distribution and transmission systems which relies on legacy...

Shear strengthening reinforced concrete bridge girders using near-surface mounted titanium alloy bars

Creator:

Knudtsen, Jonathan

Abstract:

Aging and deficient infrastructure has become a major problem throughout the world. This is particularly evident in the case of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. The cost of replacing these bridges is often prohibitive, thus engineers must find ways to strengthen them. Many older RC bridges predate the modern understanding of...
