Strengthening of Concrete Structures with Textile Reinforced Mortars: State-of-the-Art Review
Aouthor(s) Lampros N. Koutas; Zoi Tetta; Dionysios A. Bournas; and Thanasis C. Triantafillou, P.E., M.ASCE Abstract Textile reinforced mortars (TRM), also known in the international literature as textile reinforced concrete (TRC) or fabric reinforced...
Remote Bridge Monitoring Using Infrasound
Aouthor(s) R. Danielle Whitlow, P.E.; Richard Haskins; Sarah L. McComas; C. Kennan Crane, Ph.D., Abstract As transportation infrastructure continues to age, new methods of noncontact sensing should be evaluated and, if found suitable, used for bridge monitoring...
Pedestrian-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges: An Extended Spectral Approach
Author(s) K. Van Nimmen ; P. Van den Broeck ; G. Lombaert ; and F. Tubino Abstract The vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges under pedestrian traffic requires a probabilistic approach considering the uncertainty in the dynamic behavior of the...
Parametric Study of Superelastic-Sliding LRB System for Seismic Response Control of Continuous Bridges
Author(s) Wenzhi Zheng, S.M.ASCE ; Hao Wang, Ph.D., M.ASCE ; Jian Li, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE ; and Huijun Shen Abstract To enhance the normal service adaptability and seismic resistance performance of isolation continuous bridges, a superelastic-sliding lead...
Ultimate Behavior of Deck-to-Girder Composite Connection Details Using UHPC
Athour(s) Zachary B. Haber, Ph.D. ; Benjamin A. Graybeal, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE ; and Brian Nakashoji, P.E. Abstract Prefabricated bridge deck panels are a popular option for new construction and bridge rehabilitation. Further, ultra-high-performance concrete...
Effect of Critical Test Parameters on Behavior of Slender Columns under Eccentric Load
Author(s) Waseem Abdelazim, Hamdy M. Mohamed, Brahim Benmokrane, and Mohammad Z. Afifi Abstract This paper intends to experimentally and theoretically support the North American technical committees engaged in developing design provisions for slender glass...
Analytical Model for Flexural Response of Reinforced Concrete Corbels Externally Strengthened with Fiber- Reinforced Polymer
Author(s) Giuseppe Campione and Francesco Cannella Abstract In this paper, an analytical model to determine the bearing capacity and the load-deflection response of reinforced concrete (RC) corbels with main and secondary steel bars and externally strengthened...
Compression Behavior of Seawater and Sea-Sand Concrete Reinforced with Fiber and Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars
Author(s) Jikai Zhou, Xu He, and Wei Shen Abstract To avoid the damage caused by chloride attack and improve the toughness of concrete, glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and short fibers could be used in seawater and sea-sand concrete (SSC). In this...
Bond Differences at Two Ends of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Columns
Author(s) Kai Wu, Feng Chen, Huiming Zheng, Chuyang Chen, and Jianan Xu Abstract To avoid certain difficulties in concrete-encased composite construction such as interference between the shaped steel and reinforcing bars and poor concrete placement quality,...
