• Abstract:
  This report describes research conducted to enable evaluation of existing vintage bent cap beams in reinforced concrete ; deck girder bridges. The report is organized into two parts: 1) flexural anchorage capacity response and prediction of ; reduced development length due to beneficial column axial compression and 2) structural performance of bent cap systems ; and their analytical evaluation. Each of these parts including descriptions of the experimental specimens and results of ; analytical studies is described separately. The research results from both studies are combined and used in an example to ; demonstrate the rating of an actual 1950’s vintage RCDG bent cap beam for continuous and single trip permit loads.
