Abstract

This paper focuses on an investigation of an improved longitudinal joint with headed bar details connecting precast decked bulb tee girders for accelerated bridge construction. The testing study included two phases. In phase I, five beam specimens with various headed bar details [...]

Abstract

The present work has as main objective to perform elastic-linear analyzes through a computational program with numerical approach of the strut-and-tie model using a formulation based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). In this model, it is possible to analyze the behavior of structural [...]

Abstract

O Modelo de Bielas e Tirantes pode ser uma excelente alternativa para o dimensionamento de elementos estruturais em concreto armado submetidos a estado plano de tensão e para regiões que apresentem descontinuidade de ordem geométrica ou estática, substituindo [...]
