Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Demonstration and Field Evaluation of Alternative Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Reinforcement Materials, Construction Report, HR-1069, 1998 [PDF]
, 1998 The function of dowel bars is the transfer of a load across the transverse joint from one pavement slab to the adjoining slab. In the past, these transfer mechanisms have been made of steel. However, pavement damage such as loss of bonding, deterioration,
