This study extends an extensive research program carried out at the University of Sherbrooke to design and assess the potential use of rectangular, concrete-filled fiber-reinforced-polymer tube (CFFT) beams post-tensioned with steel tendons in bridge applications. This paper describes research to enhance the flexural performance of post-tensioned CFFT beams. Five rectangular post-tensioned CFFT beams were tested up to failure, and the effects of attaching a thin carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate embedded in tension flange and its total reinforcement ratio as well as tube structure fiber laminate were investigated. Last, a simplified design approach is proposed based on strain combinability and force equilibrium to estimate the flexural moment capacity of the tested beams. The specimens with two inclined fiber patterns in the hoop direction or added CFRP laminate strips embedded in the bottom flange of the tubes exhibited substantially greater flexural strength, absorbed energy, and serviceability performance than the control specimens. The ductility index and energy ratio ranged from 8.3 to 10.6 and from 82% to 87%, respectively, which indicates ductile behavior. Also, adding CFRP laminate strips embedded in the bottom flange of the tubes enhanced the flexural strength by 17% on average compared with post-tensioned CFFT without CFRP laminate. The specimen with the CFRP laminates in the bottom flange of the tube achieved flexural strength and energy absorption that was comparable to the flexural strength and energy absorption of the specimen with two layers of inclined fiber patterns. The findings suggest that the design can be optimized to achieve more efficient post-tensioned CFFT structural members. The proposed design approach successfully predicts the flexural strength of the tested beams with an average of 1.05 ± 0.05 for the partially confined concrete model and an average of 1.11 ± 0.07 for the unconfined concrete model.

This paper focuses on developing ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) with mechanical properties comparable to those of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and with production procedures similar to those used for high-strength concrete. A concrete mixture was developed to achieve a compressive strength of 17 ksi (117 MPa) at 28 days without using silica fume and with a slump flow as high as 35 in. (889 mm). Another concrete mixture with compressive strength of 20 ksi (138 MPa) was designed using only 130 lb/yd3 (77.1 kg/m3) of silica fume. In addition to these two mixtures, a UHPC mixture was also designed with a compressive strength of 24 ksi (165 MPa). Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate predictions of modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, creep, and shrinkage for the developed mixtures. This paper demonstrates that using UHSC and 0.7 in. (18 mm) diameter strands will produce adequate flexural strength to design 300 ft (91.4 m) long prestressed concrete I-girders that have service stresses within safe limits

Structural concrete insulated panels (SCIPs) are an alternative construction technology to traditional wood framing and masonry units for use in residential homes and low-rise structures. SCIPs can be used to erect structurally sound buildings that are economical, energy efficient, and durable while incorporating sandwich technology. This study presents a novel type of SCIP that can be fabricated using off-the-shelf components. A precasting technology for such modular SCIPs is proposed. Full-scale experimental testing of one-way SCIP slabs with three different span lengths (short, medium, and long) was carried out to investigate flexural behavior, strength, ductility, and failure mechanisms. Testing showed good performance of modular SCIPs under gravity loads. Appropriate splicing details for longer-span SCIPs are developed and tested. Results show that the SCIPs tested in this research can provide a moment capacity equal to 66% of the capacity of a fully composite section.

Horizontally curved bridges have been mostly built with steel plate I-girders or tub girders. In the past 15 years, curved concrete girders have been successfully used in several states, including Nebraska, Colorado, and Florida. This paper addresses the design of curved concrete girder bridges using ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) by combining state-of-the-art spliced girder technology and UHPC technology. It also proposes a number of unique features that result in further simplification of precast concrete production and construction. Critical design criteria are discussed. The system development of curved UHPC girder bridges and necessary construction steps are elaborated through a numerical example of a three-span bridge, which shows greatly reduced concrete quantities when compared with recently constructed curved concrete girders. With UHPC designed as proposed here, horizontally curved bridges are expected to be cost competitive with conventional concrete and more economical than structural steel.

Accurate predictions of concrete compressive strength are critical for designers to effectively estimate the camber, deflections, and prestress losses of precast, prestressed concrete elements. A methodology that relies on regional concrete bridge girder strength test results is proposed for predicting expected concrete compressive strength. Strength data collected from precast, prestressed concrete plants were manipulated by the use of a strength-difference approach to facilitate American Concrete Institute 214R-11 analysis methods. The data set was used to evaluate five other empirical prediction model forms. When implemented using an Alabama regional data set, the methodology resulted in markedly more accurate predictions of expected concrete strength at prestress transfer and at 28 days compared with current practice.

Highway bridge beams are subjected to aggressive environments, temperature fluctuations, and millions of loading cycles throughout their service life. The combination of these effects can result in the reduction of the service life of structural components. In the past decades, more-durable composite materials, such as carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have been implemented in concrete structures to address problems related to environmental durability. To date, prestressing applications of CFRP in beams have been mostly investigated for rectangular cross sections, which are not representative of the geometry used in modern highway bridges. In addition, the construction and detailing aspects of CFRP prestressed concrete beams have not been investigated outside of laboratory conditions. This paper describes an experimental investigation conducted on eight 40 ft (12 m) long AASHTO Type I prestressed concrete beams with 3 ft (0.9 m) wide composite concrete decks and detailed identically to highway bridge beams in practice. Three beams were pretensioned with carbon-fiber-composite cables, four beams with CFRP bars, and one with prestressing steel. The beams were tested under monotonic and fatigue loading. All CFRP prestressed concrete beams were designed to fail due to the rupture of the prestressing CFRP. The CFRP prestressed concrete beams exhibit several desirable features of the typical steel prestressed concrete beams in terms of serviceability and strength.

The purpose of this paper is to raise construction industry awareness regarding structural grouting of precast concrete projects in the United States. Incidents related to structural grouting have occurred with both precast concrete systems and other building systems. Designers, architects, owners, insurance carriers, and the construction industry in general are becoming increasingly aware of deficient grouting installation methods and verification procedures. Concerns include the timeliness of grout installation during the erection process, the lack of grout on some components of finished projects, and the poor quality of installed grout. These concerns pertain to horizontal connection joints of critical load-bearing elements between foundations and precast concrete columns and walls, stacked precast concrete columns, and stacked precast concrete walls. Current building codes and standards provide no requirements and limited guidance for the installation or special inspection of these critical horizontal joints. In an effort to address this gap in building codes and standards, as it specifically relates to precast concrete structural products, some precast concrete producers and erectors are implementing several strategies and new procedures, as noted and further developed in this paper.

The current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications’ approximate formula for estimating long-term prestress losses is the outcome of the research work presented in National Cooperative Highway Research Program report 496. It is produced by simplifying the detailed method and taking into account the variability of concrete properties and the interaction between the precast concrete girder and cast-in-place deck. This paper presents two detailed parametric studies based on the average conditions for the design and construction of commonly used bridge girders. Three spans and, consequently, three levels of prestressing for each section have been considered. The first study establishes the creep multiplier Nc, whereas the second study evaluates the shrinkage multiplier Ns. Both multipliers are used in the lump-sum formulas for estimating long-term prestress losses for different bridge girders. The multipliers produced by these studies are compared with that of the current AASHTO LRFD specifications’ approximate method, and new lump-sum formulas for long-term prestress losses are proposed.
