Documentation of Bridge Deck Construction Using Industrially Produced Internally Cured, High Performance Concrete View a PDF of this presentation The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) commissioned the construction of bridge decks using an internally cured concrete designed to achieve an increase in durability through reductions in ionic transport and potential for cracking. In an effort […]
Webinar Title: "Recent experience with decoding information from the performance of structures" Speaker: Dr. Alan Jeary, STRAAM Group The talk will discuss the use of low amplitude measurements of dynamic behavior to establish a risk ratio for a structure. This approach has been applied to buildings successfully and to a small number of bridges. The […]
10:00 a.m. Pacific Time Topic: "Seismic Performance of ABC (accelerated bridge construction) Bridge Systems" Deployment of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in high seismic zones has faced resistance due to uncertainties on seismic performance of connections between prefabricated bridge elements. Research on development and evaluation of earthquake-resistant connections appropriate for ABC began to a limited […]
