Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration Accelerated bridge construction manual “Adjacent butted precast girder systems such as double tees and deck bulb tees create opportunities for ABC. These girders function as both the beam and the deck, thereby eliminating the need for deck placement in the field.” (U.S Department of Transportation, 2011) 1.2 Stay-in-Place Deck Forms A significant portion of the bridge construction schedule can be attributed to the forming and stripping

Beam end retaining clips, called BERC clips, attach to the end of main runners or cross tees and slip over the vertical flange of the wall angle. Install BERC clips when using 7/8" and 9/16" wall angles in seismic zones D, E, and F. BERC clips can be
5 White Paper: Fire Load Performance Characteristics of Metal Gusset Plate Trusses vs. Finger Joint Glued Trusses St White Paper: Fire Load Performance Characteristics of Metal Gusset Plate Trusses vs. Finger Joint Glued Trusses Prepared by: Bracken Engineering, Inc. 2701 West Busch Blvd., Suite 200 Tampa, Florida 33618 April 2017 INTRODUCTION The question most firefighters have, “Are trusses with no gusset plates as safe as trusses with gusset plates while being exposed
hysteresis curve of Specimen 5 are shown in Fig. 14. The short column effect was observed to 1nd story at the columns. Significant damage was observed in a column of the part without a window opening of 1nd story. Shear cracks were observed in column and beam of the level without a window
2.1. Introuduction This chapter reviews the literatures of the available previous studies related to several techniques of strengthening reinforced concrete columns with attention on strengthening reinforced concrete column using concrete jacket. Also this chapter provides a literature review relevant to the history, properties and field application of the ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). The chapter also reviews several techniques of enhancing the bond at the interface
DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BEAM HAMMER Abstract Beam hammer is a device which works on the principle of beam engine or inversion of four bar mechanism. Cast iron plates are used to construct the rigid beam engine mechanism which is one of the applications of four bar chain. The wooden bed is used to absorb the vibrations caused while operating the system. Nuts and bolts are made up of carbon steel which is capable of withstand deformation while reciprocating motion takes place. The hammer and the
The Collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is perhaps the most notorious failure in the world of engineering. It collapsed on November 7, 1940 just months after its opening on July 1, 1940. It was designed by Leon Moisseiff and at its time it was the third largest suspension bridge in the world with a center span of over half a mile long. The bridge was very narrow and sleek giving it a look of grace, but this design made it very flexible in the wind. Nicknamed the
The Da Nang Dragon Bridge has become a staple in Da Nang’s existence and has put them on the map in a big way. The aesthetic appeal of the bridge garners a lot of attention, but the bridge serves an important purpose other than just being visually appealing. This bridge connects to cities and allows easy access to the regional city of Da Nang. While creating an ease of access to and from Da Nang, this bridge also has brought great economic wealth to the city of Da Nang. It is a staple for tourists
