Improvement of Composite Beam with Web Opening Using Posttensioning Tendons under Static and Cyclic Loadings

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
In practice, the passage of service utilities through web opening causes a significant load‐carrying capacity loss and introduces a change of failure mode of the composite beam. This study aims to improve the load‐carrying capacity and stiffness of open‐web composite beams subjected to static and cyclic loading using posttensioning tendons.

Rehabilitation of a Vehicle Impact Damaged Concrete Bridge Girder with GFRP Rebars

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Overpass bridge girders are susceptible to impact damage of over-height vehicles, creating a traffic hazard and structural deficiency. The repair for a damaged girder has to meet adequate criteria for the safety, repair time and economy.
