Recently, the partially prestressed concrete (PPC) has been widely used as an effective
construction technique for structures to reduce yielding and damages. However, there is no …

An improved cyclic softened membrane model (ICSMM) based smeared reinforced concrete
(RC) plane stress element has been developed in the present study. The newly developed …

Thin-walled prestressed concrete structures such as bridge columns can be subjected to
large magnitudes of dynamic loads. It is essential to develop a robust model to accurately …

Four large-scale post-tensioned I-beam specimens were fabricated using high-strength self-
consolidating concrete (SCC) and tested under realistic distributed loads. The shear …

This research investigates possible design-related causes of apparent shear cracks on
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) prestressed concrete (PC) bridge girders; …

Abstract Composite Steel plate Concrete (SC) have been widely used in nuclear industries
as a primary component for the construction of safety shells and nuclear containment …

Many studies concerning the shear behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) girders through
experimental testing are available in the technical literature. However, few studies are …

Various national codes of practice play a crucial role in the development of the country's
infrastructure and should be developed based on principles of mechanics and experimental …

Prestressing concrete is a widely-used technique which was introduced in the early 1940s to
overcome the natural weakness of concrete in tension (ie cracking and deflections) from …

The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the adequacy of the current AASHTO
methods for shear design of prestressed concrete (PC) bridge girders, determine the …
