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...

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...

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...

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...
