CYCLIC RESPONSE OF BRIDGE KNEE JOINTS WITH CIRCULAR COLUMNS

A bridge knee joint having details representative of recent design procedures was tested under cyclic loading and found to perform poorly due to inadequate anchorage of the longitudinal column reinforcement. Repair and retrofit strategies were tested with excellent results obtained, and a redesigned...

Description
Summary:A bridge knee joint having details representative of recent design procedures was tested under cyclic loading and found to perform poorly due to inadequate anchorage of the longitudinal column reinforcement. Repair and retrofit strategies were tested with excellent results obtained, and a redesigned joint also performed well. Reinforcement details and experimental results are presented for the four units.
