Design and environmental performance of near-surface mounted carbon fiber reinforced polymer strips for shear strengthening reinforced concrete bridge girders

Creator:

Goebel, Jacob Hans

Abstract:

During the interstate expansion of the 1950s, many conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges were built throughout the country. These now vintage bridges commonly exhibit diagonal cracking and rate inadequately for shear, thus they are candidates for shear strengthening to extend their useful life. Near-surface mounted (NSM) retrofitting is a...

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...
