The flexural behavior of precast concrete segmental box girder is significantly depends on the length of segments. This study aims to investigate the effect of segment length at different compressive strengths of concrete on box girder bridges. In this study, six beams divided into two groups with internal tendons having a constant span of 2400 mm...
The application of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) technology has grown considerably in the construction industry due to the advantages associated with its mechanical properties and durability of concrete. The stress-strain model of concrete is essential in the design stage of structural members. Since the development of HPC, the behaviors of many...
Background
The use of post-tensioning in girders causes high bearing and compressive stresses in the anchorage zone. In this study, the behavior of the anchorage zone and the interaction between the local and general zone are investigated. The variables included different reinforcements for both the local and general zones for a block of two anchor...
In recent years, strengthening through using fibre reinforcing polymer (FRP), has been widely used in buildings, especially slab-column connections. This is due to several reasons; such as the application of additional loads, incorrect analysis and design and others. There are many standards to deal with the FRP application. Each standard has its o...
Precast segmental concrete bridges involve multiple concrete segments joined together by posttensioning, and have the advantages of rapid construction, low-cost, and excellent quality control. Joints that represent locations of discontinuity are prominent factors affecting overall structural behavior of segmental bridges. In this study, a comprehen...
An experimental program is carried out to evaluate the mix design and mechanical properties of normal strength concrete (NSC) grade 40 MPa and high-strength concrete grade 60 and 80 MPa. The study investigates using silica fume to produce high-strength concrete grade 80 MPa and highlights the influence of adding steel fiber on the mechanical proper...
Post-tensioning tendons in segmental box girder bridges are usually anchored in very massive diaphragms. This paper presents an analytical investigation of the anchorage zone stresses for an interior pier diaphragm and a rectangular block model (model of diaphragm anchorage zone). The failure load and load-displacement relation for the two cases we...
The conception, development, and worldwide acceptance of segmental construction in the field of precast concrete segmental bridges represent one of the most interesting achievements in civil engineering. The structural behavior of segmental bridges depends largely on the behavior of the joints between segments. In this paper the beginning steps and...
Precast segmental concrete bridge construction involves multiple concrete elements joint together by post-tensioning. The joints that represent locations of discontinuity are the prominent factors affecting the overall behavior of segmental bridges. In this study, a series of single cell, box shaped specimens, with a geometry closely resembling the...
Precast concrete segmental bridges have the advantages of rapid construction speed, excellent quality control and low cost. The structural behavior of segmental bridges largely depends on the behavior of the joints between segments. In this study, a series of specimens with epoxied joints, were tested to assess shear behavior of box girder segmenta...
The influence of double idealized shear flow zones on the torsional resistance for under-reinforced ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete beams subjected to pure torsion was investigated. The concrete beams section was reinforced with two layers of transverse and longitudinal reinforcements, which located in the idealized shear flow and...
The anchorage zone of post-tensioned members can be divided into local and general zone. Many researchers investigated the effect of various parameters of anchorage zone and the accuracy as well as the improvement in the analysis and the design methods. In this article, the survey of literatures is established in order to study the post-tensioning...
This paper highlights the effect of tension stiffening index on the torsional resistance at the crack and peak loads in under-reinforced fibrous normal strength concrete beams under pure torsional loading. The different grades of steel reinforcements were used with different surface texture of the reinforcements. Four fibrous normal strength concre...

The present paper is a theoretical analyses of three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model to predicate the shear stress, shear strain, load deflection and crack propagation of sixteen high performance reinforced concrete deep beams (HPRCDB) with stirrups by ANSYS (v14). The main variables considered were; vertical shear stress (pvfy), ranging...
The experimental work consisted of testing eleven simply supported reinforced concrete flat plate slabs
800x800x50 mm (31.50x31.50x1.97 in.), loaded through a circular 80 mm (3.15 in.) column, for investigating punching

Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPC) is a new class of concrete that has been developed in recent decades, it has enhanced properties such as; very high compressive strength, improved tensile strength. In this study, three types of concrete were used based on the compressive strength of concrete, named; Normal Strength Concrete (...
SYNOPSIS Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has evolved in the last couple of decades and it is relatively new type of concrete that exhibits mechanical properties that are far superior to those of conventional concrete and in some cases rival those of steel. The main characteristics that distinguish UHPC from conventional concrete are: the imp...
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) was appeared in past two decades and it is relatively new type of concrete that exhibits mechanical properties that are far superior to those of conventional concrete and in some cases rival those of steel.

The ultimate strength of reinforced concrete T-beams reinforced with conventional steel bars and short discontinuous steel fibers are studied. It is found that the presence of steel fibers reduced effectively the deflection, width of cracks and also improved the ductility and flexural rigidity of the concrete beams. Hence, an appreciable increase t...
