Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiber reinforced polymer composites are an increasingly popular material that can be used for bridge girder retrofit/repair. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to develop methods and design guidelines for repair and retrofit of bridge girders suffering (1) shear strength deficiencies related to end cracking and (2) flexural strength deficiencies related to vehicular collision. Scaled test specimens were fabricated and subjected to cyclic loading in order to instigate damage similar to that caused by end cracking and vehicular collision. Subsequently, the damaged specimens were repaired with external post-tensioned carbon fiber rods and re-tested to failure. This report presents the data from the tests and design guidelines for the use of external post-tensioned carbon fiber rods for repair applications.

Book Synopsis Repair Method for Prestressed Girder Bridges by : Kent A. Harries

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is common practice that aging and structurally damaged prestressed concrete bridge members are taken out of service and replaced. This, however, is not an efficient use of materials and resources since the member can often be repaired in situ. There are numerous repair techniques proposed by entrepreneurial and academic institutions which restore prestressed concrete girder flexural strength and save both material and economic resources. Of course, not all repair methods are applicable in every situation and thus each must be assessed based on girder geometry and the objectives of the repair scenario. This document focuses on the practical application of prestressed concrete bridge girder repair methods. In this document, repair methods are presented for three prototype prestressed concrete highway bridge girder shapes: adjacent boxes (AB), spread boxes (SB), and AASHTO-type I-girders (IB), having four different damage levels. A total of 22 prototype repair designs are presented. Although not applicable to all structure types or all damage levels, the repair techniques covered include the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips, CFRP fabric, near-surface mounted (NSM) CFRP, prestressed CFRP, post-tensioned CFRP, strand splicing and external steel post-tensioning. It is the authors' contention that each potential structural repair scenario should be assessed independently to determine which repair approach is best suited to the unique conditions of a specific project. Therefore, no broad classifications have been presented directly linking damage level (or a range of damage) to specific repair types. Nonetheless, it is concluded that when 25% of the strands in a girder no longer contribute to its capacity, girder replacement is a more appropriate solution. Guidance with respect to inspection and assessment of damage to prestressed concrete highway bridge girders and the selection of a repair method is presented. These methods are described through 22 detailed design examples. Based on these examples, review of existing projects and other available data, a detailed review of selection and performance criteria for prestressed concrete repair methods is provided. Best practices based on the study objectives are presented.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year several prestressed concrete (P/C) girder bridges are damaged by overheight vehicles. Traditional P/C girder repair strategies include beam replacement, internal strand splices, external post-tensioning, and welded steel jackets. Unfortunately, these types of repairs are both labor intensive and vulnerable to future corrosion. One possible alternative to these traditional repair techniques is to repair/strengthen impact damaged P/C girders with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). These types of materials have the advantage of large strength/weight ratios, excellent corrosion/fatigue properties, and are relatively simple to install. This report describes the experimental results from three full-sized P/C beams that were intentionally damaged to simulate vehicle impacts, repaired, and tested. Damage consisted of removing concrete from the bottom flange and severing a number of prestressing strands. The beams were strengthened/repaired by patching the bottom flange and installing multiple layers unidirectional CFRP to restore the original flexural capacity. CFRP fibers were also used in the transverse direction to help confine the patch material and to prevent premature debonding of the longitudinal sheets. Service level and ultimate load tests were conducted to determine the effectiveness of CFRP strengthening system. A theoretical analysis of the strengthened/repaired beams was also completed. In addition to the full-size beams, a number of smaller specimens were also used to address durability and environmental concerns related to the use CFRP on bridge structures.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over-height vehicles impacting prestressed concrete (PS) and reinforced concrete (RC) bridge girders is a frequent problem experienced by the majority of transportation departments all over the world. The most common practice used to restore a damaged bridge is to cut out the damaged girder and replace it with a new one. More recently, alternative methods have been examined to help decrease the costs of replacing damaged girders and minimizing closure time. The research reported in this thesis considered three scenarios to examine the effectiveness of using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) to restore impact-damaged PS girders to their original capacity. The first scenario investigated the effectiveness of CFRP sheets to repair a 54 ft (16.4 m) long girder with one ruptured prestressing strand caused by an over-height vehicle impact. The second scenario investigated the effectiveness of CFRP sheets to repair two 54 ft (16.4 m) long girders with various numbers of prestressing strands ruptured artificially at midspan. The final scenario examined the effectiveness of CFRP sheets to repair a shear-critical specimen with four prestressing strands artificially ruptured near the support. The design of all CFRP repair systems was conducted using a cracked section analysis and/or guidelines for shear capacity of prestressed members. The predictions according to the two approaches compared well with the measure values. The designs were compared to current codes and a recently developed debonding model. All of the repaired girders were able to reach and surpass their respective undamaged capacities. All of the flexural tests failed due to crushing of concrete and exhibited ductility even higher than the predicted value for the undamaged specimens.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overpass girders are risked by the impact of the traffic, over height vehicle, travelling under the structure, creating a hazard for the drivers over and under the bridge. When a bridge girder is damaged the repair solution adopted has to meet the following criteria: - Safety. The repaired structure has to provide a minimum level of service to guarantee the safety of the traffic during the life of the structure. - Repair time: The repair time has to be minimized to limit risks and inconveniences for the traffic. - Economy. The adopted solution has not only to fulfill the previous requirements, but also has to be the most economical. Nowadays a lot of construction projects have to confront this kind of issue. The Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) Express construction project had to solve this problem. The LBJ project is located on I-635 and I-35 in North Dallas, Texas. The bridge number 54 of the LBJ project was hit by a truck, causing severe damage on one of its girders. The incident caused loss of concrete and exposed several strands. The solution adopted for the engineers was install fiber glass rebar and fill with repair mortar. This study models the damaged girder before and after the repair to analyze its structural behavior. The data obtained by this model have been compared to the data obtained by the field test. The ABAQUS software has been used to model the girder. The objectives of this study are provide a better understanding of the structural behavior and propose adequate modeling techniques of beams repaired with GFRP rebar. The proposed techniques will help to establish adequate repair procedures and to anticipate the structural behavior of damaged girders prior to the repair process
