Investigation of the Time-Dependent Longitudinal Flexural Behavior of the Varina-Enon Bridge
Post-tensioned concrete is a building technology which provides a compressive force to concrete via steel tendons. This combination of steel and concrete allows for the construction of lighter and stiffer structures. Post-tensioned concrete is widely utilized throughout the United States highway …

An investigation into the usefulness of a method of analysis for straight, uniform-section, box-girder bridge decks with side cantilevers
… in a technical report for the London Cement and Concrete Association, proposed a method of analysis, in the form of an extension of simple beam theory, which is suitable for application to straight, rectangular, single-cell, uniform-section concrete box-girder bridge-decks with side cantilevers. …

Integration of Traffic and Structural Health Monitoring Systems Using A Novel Nothing-On-Road (NOR) Bridge-Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM) System
Bridges are vital components of the U.S. transportation network. However, every year, the transportation agencies report a large number of aging bridges that are structurally damaged. Also, evolving traffic and particularly the overloaded traversing traffic can threaten the bridges' integrity and …

Seismic Response and Analytical Fragility Functions for Curved Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
Curved bridges are constructed to conform to geometric constraints resulting from traffic and structural restrictions. They are different from their straight counterparts since the response coupling in the longitudinal and transverse directions and rotation of the superstructure may lead to …
