The conception, development, and worldwide acceptance of segmental construction in the
field of precast concrete segmental bridges represent one of the most interesting …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has great prospects in the field of precast
segmental bridges. The excellent mechanical properties of dry joints between the UHPC …

The filling concrete in a wet joint without steel reinforcements of precast segmental bridges
is one of the weakest part of the bridges under shear. The joint width tends to be narrowed in …

Precast segmental bridges made of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) have gained
wide research attention and application. The shear transfer of dry joints between UHPC …

Precast segmental concrete bridge construction involves multiple concrete elements joint
together by post-tensioning. The joints that represent locations of discontinuity are the …

The structural behavior of precast concrete segmental bridges largely depends on the
behavior of the joints between segments. The current practice of precast concrete segmental …

Precast concrete segmental bridges with dry joints have the advantages of rapid
construction speed and low cost. The shear strength and shear behavior of dry joints with …

Abstract In this study, six 1/3-scale short bridge column specimens are investigated for shear
strength under the same quasi-static cyclic loading protocol. The specimens consist of one …

Precast concrete segmental bridge (PCSB) has developed rapidly because of its
advantages of fast construction speed, little environmental impact, easy quality control, and …

Dry joints represent locations of discontinuity in precast concrete segmental bridges
(PCSBs) through which compressive and shear stresses must be transmitted. Cracks in dry …
