Bridge approach slab analysis and design incorporating elastic soil support
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The development of equations necessary for the analysis of finite bridge approach slabs (BAS) on elastic soil support is reported in this thesis. Results are compared for moments and shear forces governing the design for ... -
Durability of ternary blended cements in bridge applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The long-term performance of bridge components can be greatly influenced by the durability parameters including freeze-thaw and chloride permeability resistance. Both freeze-thaw resistance and chloride permeability ... -
Evaluation of prestress losses in an innovative prestressed precast pavement system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)To date no streamlined user efficient concrete roadway rehabilitation method is in practice in the United States. However, the use precast pavement is being evaluated and successful projects in Georgetown, Texas, El Monte, ... -
Evaluation of the service performance of an innovative precast prestressed concrete pavement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Precast prestressed concrete pavement (PPCP) is the product of an optimization of conventional materials coupled with economical fabrication and transportation means to create a product that exceeds the performance and ... -
Evaluation of wearing surface systems for the orthotropic steel deck of the San Mateo Hayward Bridge
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Performance under static and fatigue loads are evaluated for two different wearing surfaces for possible use on the steel orthotropic deck of San Mateo Hayward Bridge in the bay area of California. The two wearing surface ... -
Flexure shear response in fatigue of fiber reinforced concrete beams with FRP tensile reinforcement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The primary goal of this MODOT-sponsored investigation is to characterize the flexural shear response, fatigue behavior, and performance of fiber reinforced concrete flexural sections with fiber reinforced polymer tensile ... -
Instrumentation and early performance of an innovative prestressed precast pavement system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Traffic, weather and de-icing salts continually diminish pavement life. Current rehabilitation methods result in traffic congestion and lost work time. The use of prestressed, precast panels for the replacement of damaged ... -
Precast prestressed bridge approach slab : cost effective designs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Bridge approach slabs (BAS) are transition slabs used to connect the roadway with the bridge. Among the various problems bridge approach slabs experience, differential settlement is the found to be the major cause leading ...
