  • Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

    Creator:
    Loving, Carly K.
    Abstract:
    To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...

  • 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...

  • 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...
