Nonlinear analysis of the end zones of prestressed concrete girders [PDF]
Pretensioned concrete girders have been used for many years in construction. Nevertheless, optimization is still possible, especially regarding the anchorage zones.

Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Comparison of the Ultimate Strength with and without Hatch Opening Subjected to Longitudinal Bending
The hatch opening has function to enter the load into the cargo hold. One of the ship types like this is Bulk Carrier. The hatch opening must be designed in suitable way because its influence to the ultimate strength since the hull girder under ...

Long-Term Performance Evaluation Of NUdeck In Kearney East Bypass [PDF]
The Kearney East Bypass bridge is the first project that implements the newly developed precast concrete deck system (known as 2nd generation NUDECK). The new system consists of full-depth full-width precast prestressed concrete deck panels that are 12 ...

This paper focuses on the modelling of the anchorage zone of a pretensioned girder. The finite element software Abaqus was used to create a 3D non-linear finite element model (FEM). This analysis was performed on a full-scale pretensioned girder with end

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Dual potential capacity model for short and deep reinforced concrete members containing steel fibers
Abstract This study presents an analytical model for estimating the shear strength of short and deep steel fiber‐reinforced concrete (SFRC) members with a shear span‐to‐depth ratio less than 2.5. To this end, a dual potential capacity model (DPCM) is developed based on the demand‐capacity approach for evaluating the shear strength of SFRC beams that ...

Issued as a Documentation Report on an Investigation of Field-Made Joints in Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Highway Girder Bridges, Project IHR-303, Phase 2 [PDF]
A prototype bridge girder was designed, built, and tested. The 250 ft long two-span girder was made of 3 precast segments about 88, 74, and 88 ft in length. The segments were supported on 3 final and 2 temporary supports.
