Analysis of diagonally cracked conventionally reinforced concrete girders in the service load range

Creator:: Robelo, Melissa J.
Abstract:: Performance evaluation of conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge superstructure elements with diagonal cracks is of interest to the bridge engineering community. Standardized methods to predict service-level stress magnitudes in cracked bridge girders under combined bending and shear forces are not available. An analysis procedure was developed to determine the response...

Testing and evaluation of flexural reinforcing bars terminating in columns

Creator:: Koester, Carl C.
Abstract:: Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...

Scale effects on reinforced concrete beams strengthened for shear with discrete externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer U-wraps

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...

Freeze-thaw durability of reinforced concrete deck girders strengthened for shear with surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer

Creator:: Mitchell, Mikal Maxwell
Abstract:: Long-term durability of surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge members remains uncertain due to the limited field experience with these materials. This paper provides experimental results from the testing of full-scale RC bridge girder specimens after exposure to prolonged freeze-thaw cycling. CFRP...

Experimental and analytical evaluation of conventionally reinforced deck-girder bridge bent caps with vintage details

Creator:: 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...

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...

Influence of diagonal cracks on negative moment flexural anchorage performance in reinforced concrete bridge girders

Creator:: Goodall, Joshua K.
Abstract:: Large numbers of vintage reinforced concrete deck-girder bridges remain in the national bridge inventory. Many of these exhibit diagonal cracking and other distress. Due to the design practices of the time, it is common to observe cracks at locations where flexural reinforcing steel is terminated along the span. The presence...

Flexural steel anchorage performance at diagonal crack locations

Creator:: Triska, Mary Ann
Abstract:: Large numbers of reinforced concrete deck girder bridges that were constructed during the interstate system expansion of the 1950s have developed diagonal cracking in the stems. Compared to the present AASHTO-LRFD standards, the provisions of the 1950s allowed for higher shear stress in the concrete, thus reducing the amount of...

Behavior of open grid steel bridge decks under service and fatigue loads

Creator:: Fetzer, Peter C.
Abstract:: Open grid steel bridge decks have been in use for nearly a century. These open grid decks provide an economical and lightweight alternative to traditional reinforced concrete decks. As the transportation infrastructure continues to deteriorate, open grid decks can be used as a cost effective way to rehabilitate structurally deficient...
