Special problems in evaluating the safety of concrete bridges and concrete bridge components
Construction and Building Materials, 1996 Abstract The safety and reliability of concrete bridges and bridges with concrete components depend on the ductility of reinforced and prestressed concrete, on the internal and external redundancy typical of concrete construction, and on concrete's demonstrated capacity to carry full design load while at the same time exhibiting severe cracking and ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.One‐dimensional C4N2H14PbBr4 is shown to have a quasi‐direct electronic band structure and strongly anisotropic transport with polarized broadband emission. A GW/Bethe–Salpeter excited‐state force formalism, supported by polarized Raman and temperature‐dependent photoluminescence, identifies low–frequency Pb–Br phonons that drive ultrafast exciton self‐

Optimum design of composite prestressed concrete girder railway bridges
, 2012 This paper deals with the formulation of design optimisation of pretsressed concrete bridges. The bridge is of a slab-on-girder type, hence modeled as an equivalent orthotropic plate.

Alternative Solutions to Meet the Service Needs of Low Volume Bridges in Iowa; TR-452, June 2004 [PDF]
, 2004 There is a nationwide need for a safe, efficient and cost effective transportation system. An essential component of this system is the bridges. Local agencies perhaps have an even greater task than federal and state agencies in maintaining the low ...
