Deep Deck and Cellular Deck Diaphragm Strength and Stiffness Evaluation
… at Virginia Tech. The tests included both deep deck and cellular deck profiles with varying structural and side-lap connections. The tests were conducted with three different structural connections: screws, pins and welds and two different side-lap connections: screws and button punch. The tests …

Evaluation of concrete bridge deck overlays
… used by many states for the protection of bridge decks, but the premature delaminations and failures have been observed in many cases. A comprehensive study was recently defined to investigate overlay performance in collaboration with the West Virginia Department of Transportation-Division of …

Performance of Concrete Bridge Deck Joints
… of joints available for use on concrete bridge decks and to investigate the performance characteristics of each type, including primary functions and movement ranges. Eleven reports on joint performance published by state departments of transportation and universities nationwide were analyzed in …

Sandwich Plate System Bridge Deck Tests
… tests were conducted on a sandwich plate bridge deck, which consisted of two steel plates and an elastomer core. The first series of testing was conducted by applying a static load on a full scale sandwich plate bridge deck panel. Local strains and deflections were measured to determine the …

Fatigue Assessment for Failed Bridge Deck Closure Pour
… pour section of an Interstate 81 (I-81) bridge deck failed by punching through near Marion, Virginia. Visual inspection noted that there was considerable corrosion on some of the reinforcing bars in the vicinity of the construction joint, while other failure bars had little or no corrosion. …

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 …

Merchant Marine Deck Officer Agency Through Performative Acts
I bring together ethnographic interviews with deck officers, studies in actor-network theory, explicit and tacit knowledge theory, and performativity theory in this work. I prove that bridge technologies produce what are called mimeomorphic (repeatable with some variation) actions that contain no …
