Precast, Pretensioned, Post-Tensioned Concrete for Bridge Decks
The problem of concrete bridge deck deterioration on many of our newer as well as older bridges is severe, somewhat perplexing as to cause, and difficult to solve. Furthermore, the cost to highway agencies for their repair, and the cost of delay to the highway user, can be extremely large. The use of precast, prestressed concrete for bridge decks is a con cept of construction or reconstruction...
متن کاملDesign and Field Demonstration of ECC Link Slabs for Jointless Bridge Decks
The poor durability of concrete bridges throughout the US is an increasingly large concern for highway transportation authorities. With decreasing budget allocations for infrastructure maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement, the need for greater durability is apparent. A main source of this poor durability is leaking mechanical expansion joints between adjacent simple spans of multi-span ...
متن کاملControl of Cracking in Bridge Decks: Observations from the Field
Crack surveys of bridge decks, performed over a 10-year period in northeast Kansas as part of three studies, provide strong guidance in identifying the parameters that control cracking in these structures. The surveys involve steel girder bridges—bridges that are generally agreed to exhibit the greatest amount of cracking in the concrete decks. The surveys include monolithic decks and decks wit...
متن کاملOptimization of Precast Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girder Systems
60 A practical approach to the optimal design of precast, prestressed concrete highway bridge girder systems is presented. The approach aims at standardizing the optimal design of bridge systems, as opposed to standardizing girder sections. Structural system optimization is shown to be more relevant than conventional girder optimization for an arbitrarily chosen structural system. Bridge system...
متن کاملField and Laboratory Performance of FRP Bridge Panels
The objective of this research project is to examine the use of FRP materials for bridge construction. In particular, this project utilizes glass FRP (GFRP) honeycomb sandwich panels. The installation of three bridges, one comprised solely of the FRP panels and two comprised of the FRP panels supported by steel girders, is outlined. Furthermore, results of preliminary testing conducted on the F...
