Lateral Load Distribution and Deck Design Recommendations for the Sandwich Plate System (SPS) in Bridge Applications
… Sandwich Plate System (SPS), a composite bridge deck system that can be used in both new construction or for rehabilitation applications. SPS consists of steel face plates bonded to a rigid polyurethane core; a typical bridge application utilizes SPS primarily as a bridge deck acting compositely …

Biaxial Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete and Untreated UHPC Waffle Slab Bridge Deck Design and Testing
… as a potential material for future bridge deck designs. Material characterization tests took place to identify potential challenges in mixing, placing, and curing UHPC. Biaxial testing was performed to evaluate behavior of UHPC in combined tension and compression stress states. A UHPC …

The effects of typical construction details on the strength of composite slabs
… construction details on the strength of steel deck reinforced concrete composite slabs. Past research on composite slabs has been centered primarily around single span, single panel width slabs with unrestrained ends. The test specimens in this study are more representative of actual slab …

Modelling and optimization of green pellets classification on roller screens using the discrete element method
… The application of the methodology of design and analysis of experiments made possible the understanding of the main process control variables amplitude of influence. Based on the results, optimization proposals were elaborated and simulated indicating positive perspectives. The double …

Effect of Lateral Stiffness on Bridge Deck Performance
The use of the empirical deck design method has increased its acceptance due to the economic advantages that it presents when compared to its counterpart, the traditional method. This can be attributed to the fact that the empirical method provides an appropriate design where the deck withstands …

Tranverse Deck Reinforcement for Use in Tide Mill Bridge
… thesis was to study and optimize the transverse deck reinforcement for a skewed concrete bridge deck supported by Hybrid Composite Beams (HCB's). An HCB consists of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer outer shell, a concrete arch, and high strength seven wire steel strands running along the bottom …

Testing and Analysis of a Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bridge Deck
… reinforced polymer (FRP) composite cellular deck system was used to rehabilitate a historical cast iron thru-truss structure (Hawthorne St. Bridge in Covington, Virginia). This research seeks to address following technical needs and questions to advance FRP deck application. The critical …

Optimization of Rib-To-Deck Welds for Steel Orthotropic Bridge Decks
Orthotropic steel deck has been widely used over the decades especially on long-span bridges due to its light weight and fast construction. However fatigue cracking problems on the welds have been observed in many countries. Rib-to-deck welds need special care since they are directly under wheel …
