Project 3.11: Assessment of Micropile-Supported Integral Abutment Bridges

Assessment of Micropile-Supported Integral Abutment Bridges PHASE 2: Flexural Strength and Durability of Micropile Threaded Connections Project 3.11 Project Summary Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are the preferred method of construction by Maine Department of Transportation (DOT) and other transportation agencies throughout the United States due to their durability and reduced upfront and life-cycle costs. Shallow […]

Project 3.12: Lateral loading of unreinforced rigid elements and basal stability of column-supported systems

Lateral Loading of Unreinforced Rigid Elements and Basal Stability of Column-Supported Systems Project 3.12 Project Summary The use of rigid column-support to stabilize fill embankments and MSE walls continues to grow in popularity, especially among DOTs and transportation agencies for roadway, railway, and bridge applications because of its distinct advantage in accelerating construction in fill […]

Testing, Monitoring and Analysis of FRP Girder Bridge with Concrete Deck Project 3.4

Project 3.05: Prevention of Stressed-Induced Failures of Pre-stressed Concrete Crossties of the Railroad Track Structure: Phase I

Prevention of Stressed-Induced Failures of Pre-stressed Concrete Cross-ties of the Railroad Track Structure: Phase I Project 3.5 Project Summary The problem we are trying to solve is to understand and mitigate premature failures of pre-stressed concrete cross-ties (PSCCs), which are an essential structural component of a railroad track structure. The objectives of the project are […]

Project 3.07: Development of general guidelines related to the effects of factors such asthe bridge span range, range of pile length, roadway profile grade,and skew angle range on integral abutment bridges (IABs)

Development of General Guidelines Related to the Effects of Factors Such as the Bridge Span Range, Range of Pile Length, Roadway Profile Grade, and Skew Angle Range on Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) Project 3.7 Project Summary The overall objective of this research is to improve the guidelines for the modeling, design, and construction of integral […]

Project 3.06: Optimal Design of Sustainable Asphalt Mixtures with RAP

Optimal Design of Sustainable Asphalt Mixtures with RAP Project 3.6 Project Summary Current proposal seeks to derive guiding approaches for extracting, through the literature, the promising opportunities for designing asphalt pavements with enhanced levels of reclamation and for capitalizing on such opportunities. To this end, the study proposes a framework for gauging and comparing, within […]

Project 3.08: Bridge Modal Identification via Video Processing and Quantification of Uncertainties

Bridge Modal Identification via Video Processing and Quantification of Uncertainties Project 3.8 Project Summary Bridges form a critical category of the U.S. transportation infrastructure, yet the current structural condition is only evaluated at “C+” according to the 2017 ASCE Infrastructure Report Card. In addition to the fact that 9.1% of the bridges in U.S. are […]
