(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)It has been demonstrated that transverse reinforcement not only provides the strength and stiffness for reinforced concrete (RC) members through direct resistance to external force demands, but also helps confine the inner ...
-
(2012-07-16)Reinforced concrete bridge columns can deteriorate prematurely due to the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and/or delayed ettringite formation (DEF), causing internal expansion and cracking on the surface of the concrete. The ...
-
(2015-06-24)Severe concrete cracking and ensuing deterioration caused by ASR/DEF expansion strains in bridge piers is a major concern for state transportation officials. A dual experimental and analytical modeling approach is used to ...
-
(2019-07-24)The two-way shear response of slab-column connections has been evaluated by a significant number of experiments. This research documents an updated database of slab-column (SC) connection tests using consistent criteria ...

Structural Assessment of D-Regions Affected by Alkali-Silica Reaction/Delayed Ettringite Formation (2012-11-12)A combined experimental and analytical program was conducted to investigate the effects of Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) and Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) on D-regions in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge bents. Four ...

(2010-10-12)The design of reinforced concrete structures for extreme events requires accurate predictions of the ultimate rotational capacity of critical sections, which is dictated by the failure mechanisms of shear, hoop fracture, ...
