  • High Strength Reinforcing Bars : Concrete Shear Friction Interface Behavior

    Creator:
    Nielson, Drew R.
    Abstract:
    Use of high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcing bars could provide constructability and economic benefits for the construction of structures, reducing the initial and ultimately the life-cycle cost of bridge and building structural elements. This thesis summarizes work performed in a research project on the use of HSS reinforcing bars for concrete...

  • Seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns constructed with grade 80 reinforcement

    Creator:
    Link, Tim B.
    Abstract:
    The research presented in this thesis assessed the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcement for use in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns. HSS is not currently allowed in reinforced concrete bridge columns due to a lack of information on the material characteristics and performance information when used in RC...

  • Performance of High-Strength Steel Reinforcement in Shear Friction Applications

    Creator:
    Matus Casanova, Nicolas A.
    Abstract:
    The use of high strength steel reinforcement has the potential to provide economic and constructability benefits when used in reinforced concrete structures. However, more research is needed to justify and confidently allow its use. Current design provisions limit the nominal yield strength of reinforcing steel bars to 60 ksi (420...

  • 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...
