  • Shear repair methods for conventionally reinforced concrete girders and deep beams

    Creator:
    Howell, Daniel A.
    Abstract:
    Many conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges (RCDG) and their intermediate supporting bent caps were designed during the Eisenhower interstate era of the 1950’s with the AASHO design equations at the time, which subsequently place higher demand on the concrete. The referenced components may exhibit diagonal cracking due to the...

    Senturk, Ahmet Ekin
    Abstract:
    Many conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) bridges were built in the US during the 1950s, throughout the expansion of the Interstate System. Designs followed the AASHO standard of the time, which permitted higher shear stress in concrete and reduced detailing requirements than permitted by current specifications. Many of these...

  • 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...
