Creator:: Higgins, Christopher, Turan, O. Tugrul, and Farrow, William C. III
Abstract:: Corrosion of embedded carbon steel is a leading factor in deterioration of aging conventional reinforced concrete structures. Methods to accurately predict remaining capacity of corrosion damaged elements, especially shear capacity, are lacking. In this paper, ACI-AASHTO approach, Strut and Tie Method, Modified Compression Field Theory, and Response 2000 were used...

Full Text:: Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Corrosion Damaged Stirrups for Shear Capacity Christopher

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...

Full Text:: Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Bridge Girders Using Near-Surface Mounted Titanium Alloy Bars

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...
