Application of Titanium Alloy Bars for Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Bridge Girders in Flexure

Creator:

Vavra, Eric

Abstract:

Structurally efficient and cost-effective solutions are needed to extend the service-life of deficient and aging highway infrastructure around the world. One critical need is to increase the flexural strength of older reinforced concrete (RC) structures to carry heavier and more frequent loads. Titanium alloy bars (TiAB) offer a new opportunity...

Shear strengthening reinforced concrete bridge girders using near-surface mounted titanium alloy bars

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...
