| Reliability of CFRP-Prestressed Concrete Girders for Highway Bridges |
|---|
| This research discusses the reliability of concrete bridge girders prestressed with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite tendons. Of interest is the calibration of strength reduction factors to accommodate the safe operation of such bridge structures. Benchmark superstructures are design in accordance with the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications (BDS) and the American Concrete Institute Committee 440 document. Uncertainty is taken into consideration through stochastic modeling, which is validated against published data. Design proposals are provided for practitioners to implement. |
