Seismic Retrofit of Square Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns using Titanium Alloy Bars

Creator:

Shrestha, Sharoo

Abstract:

There are many aging bridges in service in the US and around the world that were not constructed to modern seismic design codes and standards. As a result, they are expected to perform poorly during intense earthquake ground shaking. Older reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, in particular, are often supported on...

Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

Creator:

Loving, Carly K.

Abstract:

To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...
