1 2Use of Salvaged Utility Poles in Roadway Bridges: Time-Dependent Behavior of Composite Wood-Concrete Beams (Dec 2009, MPC-09-216)
This research study focused on the long-term and repeated load behavior of wood-concrete composite beams in which the wood layer is composed of recycled utility poles. Previous research studies have found this type of a beam to have high efficiency and to be a potentially viable replacement for short...
Enhancement of Existing Engineering Software, Vol. 5: Transverse Load Distribution in Slab-Girder Bridges (Jul 1992, MPC-92-9.5)
The finite strip method was used to develop an automated procedure for determining the distribution of load on highway bridges subjected to both standard truck loads and overload permit vehicle loads. The distribution factors obtained by this procedure are used in the design and load rating of highway...
