Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Subjected to Reversed Cyclic Loading
Sixteen large-scale reinforced concrete specimens without web reinforcements were tested to study the behavior of typical bridge piers subjected to deflection reversals that were large enough to cause extensive yielding of the longitudinal reinforcement. The different parameters considered included shear spanto-depth ratio, percentage of longitudinal reinforcement, frequency of the applied load...
متن کاملDesign of reinforced concrete bridge frames by heuristic optimization
This paper deals with the economic optimization of reinforced concrete box frames used in road construction. It shows the efficiency of four heuristic algorithms applied to a problem of 50 design variables. Heuristic methods used are the random walk and the descent local search. The metaheuristic methods are the threshold accepting and the simulated annealing. The four methods have been applied...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of an FRP-Reinforced Concrete Bridge
As part of a larger project to investigate the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials in bridge construction, a short-span FRP-reinforced concrete bridge was installed in central Missouri. The Walters Street Bridge is a precast concrete panel bridge reinforced with both glass FRP (GFRP) and carbon FRP (CFRP) reinforcing bars. It was designed according to the American Concrete Institute...
متن کاملBehaviour of Reinforced Fibrous Concrete Beams under Reversed Cyclic Loading
When earthquakes occur, energy released by the earthquake gets induced into the structure as ground motion and this energy has to be dissipated for safety reasons. To release seismic energy, the structure should damage in such a way that on one hand, collapse of structure should not occur and on the other hand, after the earthquake, damage should be economically feasible to repair. To avoid the...
متن کاملEffects of Loading Rate on Reinforced Concrete Beams
The effects of loading rate on the reinforced concrete beams are experimentally studied in the present paper. Firstly, the effects of strain rate on the different grades of concrete are investigated using the electro-hydraulic servo-controlled testing system at the strain rate that might be experienced during earthquakes. Based on the test results, the dynamic increasing factors (DIF) of concre...
