Finite Element Analysis of Oblique Prestressed Concrete Pavement

Finite Element Evaluation of Pervious Concrete Pavement for Roadway Shoulders

Stormwater quantity control is an important issue that needs to be addressed in roadway and ancillary transportation facility design. Pervious concrete has provided an effective solution for storm runoff for parking lots, sidewalks, bike trails, and other applications. It should be readily adaptable for use on roadway shoulders. Being a relatively new material for use in pavement for roadways, ...

Finite Element Modelling of Steel-concrete Composite Beams Strengthened with Prestressed Cfrp Plate

This paper presents results from Finite Element Modelling (FEM) of steel-concrete composite beams strengthened with prestressed Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plate. For the purpose of this study, three beams were strengthened using prestressed CFRP plate with three different levels of induced prestressing force. The models were developed using ANSYS FE package. The results of an experi...

Prestressed Concrete Piles

A state of the art presentation on prestressed piling as used throughout the world is discussed in this General Report to the FIP Symposium on Mass-Produced Prestressed Precast Elements in Madrid, Spain, May 1968. Historical information, design data and notes along with manufacturing techniques, installation practices, discussion of problems and failures and a complete bibliography are all cove...

Ductility of Prestressed and Partially Prestressed Concrete Beam Sections

D analyses of structures responding elastically to ground motions recorded during severe earthquakes have shown that the theoretical response inertia loads are generally significantly greater than the static design lateral loads recommended by codes. Hence, structures designed for the lateral earthquake loads recommended by codes can only survive severe earthquakes if they have sufficient ducti...
