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...

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

Creator:: Amneus, Deanna
Abstract:: Many older reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) bridges contain straight bar terminations of flexural reinforcement. Common bridge design practice of the 1950s did not consider the additional demands on the terminated bars from shear and flexure. Moreover, more stringent code specifications and heavier permit trucks contribute to the insufficient ratings...

Full Text:: Reinforced Concrete Bridge Girders Using a Near-Surface Mounted Retrofitting Technique METHODS

Creator:: Barker, Laura
Abstract:: Large numbers of reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) bridges were built during the highway infrastructure boom of the 1950's. The advent of standardized deformed steel reinforcing bars during this time allowed for straight bar terminations in flexural tension regions. Designers of the time terminated reinforcing bars where they were no...
