Seismic Behaviour of Grouted Connections in Precast Concrete Panels
… earthquakes the seismic design of buildings with precast concrete panels has received significant attention. Although this form of construction generally performed adequately in Christchurch, there were a considerable number of precast concrete panel connection failures. This observation prompted …

Recommendations for Longitudinal Post-Tensioning in Full-Depth Precast Concrete Bridge Deck Panels
Full-depth precast concrete panels offer an efficient alternative to traditional cast-in-place concrete for replacement or new construction of bridge decks. Research has shown that longitudinal post-tensioning helps keep the precast bridge deck in compression and avoid problems such as leaking, …

A Comparative Study of Insertion Loss of Traffic Noise Barriers in Georgia
… of traffic noise barriers, interlocking steel panels, precast concrete panels, and Paragon panel 23-T, were evaluated in terms of insertion loss. Field test was conducted for the noise barriers recently installed as part of the Northwest Express Project in Georgia. The noise insertion loss was …

Static push-out tests and finite element studies on larger diameter shear studs for composite steel bridges
… design makes use of composite action between the concrete bridge deck and the steel girders. The critical link between the deck and the girders are shear studs welded to the girder top flange. The most commonly used shear studs have a 7/8-inch diameter and are welded to the top flange of the beam …
